🌲 Offline Forest Walk | Forest of Fontainebleau | Half-day trip 👣
​Our first half-day trip as a community!
​Join The Offline Club for a special Offline Forest Walk in Fontaineblau!
​May is the favorite month of French people, because of the... ponts. Everyone is escaping the city to visit family and friends or enjoy nature.
​That's exactly what we're doing, too. Together!
​It's going to be our May's community-only gathering in Paris! ​​Not yet a community member? Join us here by filling up the "Join our community" form. Once you’re in, you’ll be able to book your spot.
​On May 9th, the Offline Club community is heading to the Fontainebleau Forest for a 10 km walk along the banks of the Seine, through trees, silence and greenery.
​Think of it as our idea of the perfect long weekend: no screens, good company, and nature at its best.
​This is a day to slow down, breathe differently, and reconnect — with nature, with yourself and with each other.
​How it will unfold
​We'll meet at Gare de Lyon at 09:45 to put our phones in the Offline pouches (provided by Hoozy) and board the train together.
​The ride itself is part of the experience — our silent time. Settle in, watch the Parisian suburbs melt into countryside, and let the quiet travel set the tone.
​Once we arrive, we'll head into the forest for a gentle 10km social walk along the Seine. The route is beautiful and accessible — whether you're a seasoned hiker (like Augustin, our main host) or a total beginner (as me-Stefania- TOC Paris City Leader), you're very welcome here.
​Halfway through, we'll stop for a picnic break.
​We should be back in Paris by around 15:00.
