Very difficult
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 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.
