Le retour se fera de la gare de Saint-Rémy-Lès-Chevreuse sur le RER B également. Comme d'habitude, cette randonnée est gratuite, excepté pour le transport, votre nourriture et votre matériel. Prévoyez donc votre pique-nique, barres d'énergie, votre eau (je conseille 2L minimum, 3L s'il fait très chaud), et bien sur de bonnes chaussures.

I am happy to organise a new hike on Saturday 12th September. It is a 20k hike, about 5 hours walking, we will do a combination of several hikes: https://visorando.com/randonnee-le-viaduc-des-fauvettes-et-la-foret-de-g/ https://visorando.com/randonnee-les-coteaux-de-l-yvette-du-guichet-a-sai/ https://www.visorando.com/randonnee-le-viaduc-des-fauvettes-et-la-foret-de-g/ Meeting point will be directly at the beginning of the hike, at Bures-Sur-Yvette station at 10:40am (RER B). The return will be from Saint-Rémy-Lès-Chevreuse station, also on RER B. This hike is free, except for transport, food and equipment. So you need to plan food for lunch, energy bars, water (I recommend 2L minimum, 3L if it is very hot), and of course good hiking shoes. Contact if needed: +336 34 21 20 92 Jérémie
