Then you follow the Seine, first to Samois with its numerous barges, then along the edge of the forest.

A succession of beautiful, long, shaded and sunny paths between two rocky outcrops. Discover the natural diversity of the Fontainebleau Massif with minimal road crossings.

An easy route on marked paths, passing several interesting points of interest: monuments, Roche Éponge, springs, Tour Dénécourt, Mares Froideau, Rocher Cassepot, Rocher Saint-Germain, Grotte aux Cristaux, Mare à Piat, Butte Saint-Louis and Petit Mont. Most of the route is in the shade, with beautiful trees.

Twenty-seventh stage of the Grand Tour of Île-de-France via the GR®11, connecting Fontainebleau-Avon station to Milly-la-Forêt, after crossing the forests of Fontainebleau and Trois Pignons due west, via Arbonne-la-Forêt between the two massifs. This stage requires an overnight stay in Milly-la-Forêt or the surrounding area before reaching Ballancourt the next day. There are a few hotels and guesthouses available in the vicinity.

A hike from station to station, mainly through forest, crossing the rocky chaos of Maunoury, Dame Jouanne and Éléphant, which are every bit as impressive as those in the neighbouring Fontainebleau Forest. The village of Larchant, with its church and a few old houses, adds a superb touch of heritage.

A hike from station to station in the south-east of the Forest of Fontainebleau. In addition to passing through two pretty villages, the start and end of this route follow good forest paths. In between, you follow trails that wind through rocky terrain, with several beautiful viewpoints, the lovely Mare aux Fées and the Grotte Béatrix.

A hike from station to station starting from Montigny-sur-Loing. A varied route through the forest with a few rocks and the banks of the Loing. The Loing valley is an authentic green paradise that can be explored over a medium distance via footpaths, rural tracks and towpaths. This route takes you along the river and the canal of the same name, which flow side by side until they meet the Seine.

A hike from station to station through the eastern part of the Forest of Fontainebleau, which is not the most popular area of this forest. The forest trail alternates between wide paths and trails that wind through rocky terrain. Several viewpoints offer extensive panoramic views.

This hike is accessible by train, which drops you off in the middle of the forest (Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays). The route mainly follows the Denecourt-Colinet trails, nicknamed "blue trails" because of the colour of their markings. It winds through the undergrowth, far from the wide forest paths, and on several sections, it twists and turns among the rocks.
