Climbing

The bouldering in the Fontainebleau forest is a world-famous pilgrimage site for climbers. Often called "Font" or "Bleau", this place is considered the birthplace of modern bouldering. What makes it so incredibly special and celebrated is its unique landscape of thousands of sandstone boulders scattered across a vast, ancient forest

As shown in the map, La maison du Diplo location is unique for climbers : you can walk in 5 minutes to the first climbing spot (Rocher Guichot) and you will find a dozen of climbing spots corresponding to hundreds of boulders by a 20-minute walk or less from the front door : you may not need to use your car during your stay !

Climber himself, Guillaume will be able to indicate you the right spots to target depending on your level, the weather and your taste
