Our **GR1 Adventure** continues with the **2nd part** of **Stage 3**!
We’ll **start** our hike at **Villennes-sur-Seine Train Station**, where we finished last time. The route follows quiet trails shaded by oak and chestnut trees, and passing old stone houses typical of the Yvelines region. It offers a mix of open views and forest calm, making it a refreshing and balanced walk, perfect for a relaxed day outdoors.
We’ll **finish** our hike in **Vernouillet-Verneuil**, a picturesque village with a train station that connects directly to Paris on the **J line** to Gare Saint-Lazare.

We’ll **stop** for lunch/snacks in the forest, so **bring your own food** and water.

We’ll **meet** on **Sunday, Dec 7, 11:20 AM** in front of Villennes-sur-Seine Train Station, where our hike begins.
To **get there**, take train **line J** from **Gare de Saint-Lazare**; the **10:47 AM** train arrives at **Villennes-sur-Seine** at **11:10 AM** (24 min ride).
