This Saturday, we are going on a hike in the Fontainebleau forest, the number one spot for hikers in Île-de-France. This hike is special because we will be departing from a very unusual train station known as "The Ghost Station." The Transilien R train will drop us in the middle of nowhere to begin our adventure!

 

Very important!! There is only ONE train that can take us to the "Ghost Station," departing at 9:15 AM from Gare de Lyon. If you miss the train, you miss the hike!
