Franchard Gorges

The path of the mythical gorges de flanchard is a remarkable site in the forest of Fontainebleau. You will find some nice bouldering rocks and some nice picnic spots.
A must see.

The bivouac zone of La Faisanderie is one of the authorized sites of the forest of Fontainebleau. The advantage of this one is the proximity to the city, its shops, its restaurants and all the services. The opportunity for a slightly more urban stroll before spending a night in the heart of nature. Otherwise, you can take a walk in the middle of the forest.

Gros Fouteau Road

Highlight • Forest

The Gros Fouteau road, in the heart of the managed biological reserve of Mont Ussy and Butte aux Aires, offers an immersion in unspoiled nature. This forest path winds through wild and varied landscapes, where century-old trees, such as the majestic Gros Fouteau, stand proudly. Here, you can discover the richness of the local biodiversity, with green clearings and magnificent viewpoints of the surrounding hills.

Calvary Cross

Highlight • Monument

A first cross would have been erected here in the 17th century, then destroyed in 1793 during the French Revolution (like many symbols and religious buildings). It was rebuilt in 1805, briefly became a place of pilgrimage before being destroyed again in 1830. It was rebuilt in 1837. From here, there is a superb panorama over the forest of Fontainebleau.

From here you can enjoy a breathtaking view of the forest of Fontainebleau. In winter, sometimes it snows, so it's a good idea to come by fatbike!

It is a very beautiful set of rocks visible on the Denecourt-Colinet trail n ° 5. It is not uncommon to see a lot of climbers in action!
