From one fountain to another... The first half of this hike from station to station takes you through the Forest of Fontainebleau, with its boulders, several fountains, the Roche Éponge and the Tour Dencourt, which offers a panoramic view. Then you follow the Seine, first to Samois with its numerous barges, then along the edge of the forest.
