Departure from Fontainebleau (Seine-et-Marne)
A hike 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 the “blue trails” due to the colour of their markings. The path winds through the undergrowth, far from the wide forest lanes, and twists and turns amongst the rocks. At Rocher Cassepot, there are two beautiful spots offering sweeping panoramic views. The end of the hike takes you past several fountains.

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.
