The Bois de Boulogne is one of Paris’ lungs. Covering an area of almost 847 ha. it incorporates two racecourses, lakes, the smaller parks of Bagatelle and Pré-Catalan and extensive woodland paths. This walk will follow part of the new GR75 path which encircles Paris and which is designed to be accessible to all. It will take you through the Hippodrome d’Auteuil racecourse, along the banks of the Lac Inférieur and down woodland paths. The walk will end at Porte Maillot on Métro Line 1 and will take approx. 90 minutes. The route is flat and smooth. This walk is a gentle and informal stroll where participants are encouraged to converse and contribute their knowledge if they wish.
