There was scarcely a soul yesterday on the walk between La Ferté-Alais and Mennency, southeast of Paris. And that suited me just fine.

Stray thoughts from 1 of the 50,000
About Me
For a long time, we were just another typical Washington, DC family: two policy-oriented jobs, two kids, and two cars. Out of the blue, my husband got a new assignment; we ditched the old jobs and the cars (but kept the kids) and headed to Paris for what started out to be a three-year, and eventually became a four-year tour.

THAT might be your best picture yet...simply lovely...
Lovely, indeed. Is it accessible by train?
Sweet Freak: I got to and from by train but to be honest, I couldn't tell you the exact spot where I took this picture only that it was somewhere about 3 hours into the walk from one station to the next. (The entire walk with stop for picnic lunch was about 5 hours.)
Looking at Google Maps, it appears that you can walk between the RER D train stations at La Ferté-Alais and Mennency. I would love to do this walk. Are there trails through the parks along les etangs?
Dan: Yes! You can get hiking maps in France with trails that are part of the national and regional system of trails. The maps are available on-line through the IGN Web site:

We saw a lot of that our last few days in Paris.
Bonjour!
cette photo est bien plus romatique que celles des poubelles Parisiennes débordantes;
Merci
Stéphane
