This hike begins by winding its way through the boulders of the Gorges d'Apremont and ends, more high up, on the plateaus. It is a fairly open route, pleasant in winter, but busier in spring and summer due to its proximity to Barbizon.

Departure from Bois-le-Roi (Seine-et-Marne) (Seine-et-Marne)
The Fontainebleau Forest is one of the most beautiful forests in France thanks to its varied landscapes and, above all, its sandstone blocks. This hike, which passes through the Cuvier-Châtillon rocks, the Apremont gorges and the rocks of Mont Ussy, will allow you to appreciate all its beauty but also its fragility, due to both natural erosion and that caused by heavy human traffic, given its proximity to the Paris region.

Departure from Bois-le-Roi (Seine-et-Marne) (Seine-et-Marne)
This stage of the GR®1 connects Bois-le-Roi to Le Vaudoué. It is the only stage that does not end at a train station. This hike is unique in that it crosses the Forest of Fontainebleau and its many beautiful rocks. There are several points of interest along this section, which is entirely forested: the tree at Carrefour des Longues Vallées, the rocks at Cuvier Chatillon, the viewpoint at Gorges d'Apremont and Gorges de Franchard (worth visiting if you don't mind walking a little further), as well as the Chapel of Prieuré Notre-Dame de Franchard and the church at Vaudoué.

It winds through the undergrowth, far from the wide forest paths, and on several sections, it twists and turns among the rocks.
