Champagne-sur-Seine - Vulaines-sur-Seine - Fontainebleau - 11 or 20 km
The hike will start in Champagne-sur-Seine (right bank and will end at Fontainebleau-Avon train station, about 19-20k.
In the morning, we’ll walk in the forest and along the river to Vulaines-sur-Seine/Samoreau.
In the afternoon, we will cross the river to hike in Forêt de Fontainebleau.
After lunch and about 11K, there will be a bail-out point as we will be near the Vulaines-sur-Seine/Samoreau train station.
If you wish to leave then, before we cross the river, I suggest that you look at a map to locate the station, not far from the bridge or nearby museum.
Vulaines-sur-Seine has a museum dedicated to French poet Stéphane Mallarmé.
There will be some ups and downs, a short steep ascent at the very start, with steps, we will walk at a steady pace. Wear good footwear. Carry enough water.
Hikers need personal accident and liability insurance.
