Departure from Bourron-Marlotte (Seine-et-Marne)
A south-to-north traverse of the Forest of Fontainebleau, from station to station! The long route showcases all aspects of this vast forest: high forests of various species, heathland plateaus, ponds, sweeping views and, of course, rocky outcrops.
N.B. Due to the winding paths through the rocky sections, the distance and elevation gain are likely underestimated: expect around 30km and between 300 and 400m of elevation gain.

A route in the very south of the Fontainebleau Forest, comprising two distinctly different sections. The route begins, outside the national forest, on the Denecourt-Colinet path no. 20, which winds its way through the Rochers de Recloses, featuring several rock shelters, including one known as the “Abri des Francs”. We continue north of this area to complete a circular route via forest paths. At the end of the route, the church at Recloses adds a lovely touch of heritage.
