Departure from Sèvres (Hauts-de-Seine)
The second section of the women's march of 5 October 1789 takes more liberties with the supposed route of the procession at the time. Starting in Sèvres and ending in Versailles, the route is distinctly urban, but between the two, it is predominantly forest. The Palace of Versailles is the highlight of this hike (with its park if you wish to take an extra detour).

Departure from Versailles (Yvelines)
The park of the Palace of Versailles covers 815 hectares in the municipality of Versailles. It is managed by the public institution of the Palace and Estate of Versailles. Apart from the main tourist sites of the Palace, it is occupied by forest and agricultural plots, criss-crossed by large straight paths. It is in this park that the Gally stream, which drains the Grand Canal, originates and flows westwards.
The route starts at the Saint Antoine gate, passes behind the palace, and ends with a tour of the Trianon estate, allowing you to return to the Saint Antoine gate. It includes a passage through the palace gardens, which are only accessible free of charge in winter.

Another takes place in Paris, which was the scene of many events, including the storming of the Bastille on 14 July 1789. The other two connect Paris to Versailles, attempting to reproduce the women's march of 5 October 1789.
