Château de Fontainebleau

Be sure to visit Fontainebleau Palace, the residence of French monarchs for eight centuries. Stroll about the splendid gardens, admire the ballroom and the Gallery of Plates, and discover the Empress’s royal apartments. At the end of the canal, turn right onto Avenue des Cascades to exit the park and enter the town centre, then turn right onto Rue Paul Séramy. Continue on until the traffic light, where you turn left onto Rue Grande. Be careful, this road is very busy. After pedalling a few metres, at the square, next to the merry-go-round, turn right onto Rue de France. At the first crossroads (with a stop sign), continue straight on. At the second crossroads, turn right at the stop sign onto Rue Saint-Méry. Continue straight on along this road until you reach the intersection with Rue de la Paroisse. Turn left and follow this road to the traffic light. At the traffic light, cross Boulevard du Maréchal Joffre and continue straight on. About a hundred metres further on, left of the war memorial, the “Route Louis Philippe” greenway (closed to traffic) will allow you to safely and tranquilly explore the forest.
