Fontainebleau is a municipality in the department of Seine-et-Marne. It has about 15,000 inhabitants and is almost completely covered by a forest that bears its name and which was once called the Beer Forest. Thomery, Ury, Recloses, Samois-sur-Seine and Arbonne-la-Forêt are some of its neighbouring municipalities. Fontainebleau is about fifteen kilometres from Melun and 38 kilometres from Evry. Moreover, this commune is only an hour's drive from Versailles and Paris.

Fontainebleau is mainly known for its large forest and castle. This wooded massif inspired many artists in the 19th century, including Claude Monet and Auguste Renoir. It is characterised by its very rugged relief and shelters various areas covered with quartz. The city not only attracts the curious and the strollers, it also hosts the annual Festival de l'histoire de l'art, a major cultural event.

It is one of the oldest golf courses in France and offers a relatively demanding course for players. The British Tom Simpson designed this 18-hole course in a preserved natural setting.

Several equestrian centres welcome the public in Fontainebleau and Arbonne. The Fontainebleau forest lends itself very well to this activity that many people discover every year. Experienced riders can gallop in the wind and enjoy the natural heritage of the Seine-et-Marne, while beginners take part in group classes where the atmosphere is always friendly.

The essential attraction of this Ile-de-France town! It was one of the residences of several French rulers from the 16th to the 19th century. The castle combines French and Italian decorative elements and architectural choices. In addition, it houses various collections of sculptures, paintings and art objects. The building and its park have been part of UNESCO's World Heritage List since 1981.

A walk in the heart of this forest is always a resourcing moment. Look up and contemplate the floral diversity: there are oak, beech, lichen, all kinds of moss, reddish clover and orchids. If you are unlikely to encounter large mammals such as deer or foxes, you can also probably admire squirrels, coyotes and many birds. Several protection measures are aimed at safeguarding this exceptional biodiversity. The forest massif is considered a biological reserve and is part of the Natura 2000 network.

This building is not strictly speaking in Fontainebleau but a few minutes away in the municipality of Avon. This church is mainly characterised by its square bell tower and its rather refined interior where superb stained glass windows stand out. Its oldest part dates back to the 12th century.

the natural climbing site of the Fontainebleau forest is internationally renowned. It is nicknamed Bléau by climbers and consists of several mythical routes including La Stalingrad and La Fissure des Alpinists. A colour code allows practitioners to identify the circuits adapted to their level. White, caramel and yellow are particularly suitable for beginners, while red and black courses are only suitable for experienced climbers in good physical condition

This house is a tribute to the poet. You will find antique furniture, souvenirs of Stéphane Mallarmé and an attractive garden
