GR1 Stage 1: Bois de Boulogne & Saint-Cloud

Join me for the first stage of the historic GR1 trail, one of France’s oldest long-distance hikes, created in the 1950s to circle the Île-de-France region. We’ll walk through the Bois de Boulogne, cross the Seine, and explore the Domaine National de Saint-Cloud with its gardens, forest paths, and scenic viewpoints over Paris.
We’ll stop for lunch/snacks in the forest, so bring your own food and water.
We’ll meet at 10:00 AM at 277, Boulevard Pereire, Pl de la Pte Maillot, 75017 Paris, (there is a Mc Donald's there) from where we start our trip.
The activity will be in English, ideal for expats and anglophones living in or visiting Paris.
