Waypoint introductions and full write-ups
1. Fresnes
Fresnes is a working suburb on the southern edge of Paris, between Antony, Wissous and the sprawl of Rungis. It is not a place anyone visits for its scenery, but as a start and finish it does the job well. The A6 and A86 are close, the N118 heads west towards the Chevreuse valley, and the Vexin and Seine cliffs are within reach after a short motorway dash.
