A team of climbing professionals born in the Fontainebleau forest who guide bouldering introductions on the sandstone.

Climb With Us is a group of climbing professionals that began in the Fontainebleau forest and today also works in Grenoble. They give courses, guide bouldering outings, coach climbers and equip climbing walls and competitions.

## Who they are

The company is headquartered in Champagne-sur-Seine, at the edge of the forest, and was founded by six climbers: Nicolas Grière, Alban Levier, Jarno Zwiebel, Kentin Boulay, Sébastien Valran and Julien Forgue. All hold official French climbing-instructor qualifications, such as the BEES 1, the DEJEPS or the DESJEPS, and several are route-setters on the national competition circuit; Alban Levier was head of climbing at the 2024 Olympic Games. Besides guiding outdoors, the team sets routes on climbing walls, advises those opening one, gives route-setter courses, trains athletes and organises vertical dance and corporate activities.

## Bouldering in Fontainebleau

In the forest they offer private bouldering sessions on the sandstone, about 45 minutes from Paris, with a qualified instructor for each group. There is a half day, of about three hours, and a full day, of about six. The sector is chosen according to level: La Canche aux Merciers, with its yellow circuit for starting; the Rocher Canon, next to Bois-le-Roi, with a more technical blue circuit; or L'Éléphant, at Larchant, with a more demanding red circuit. The meeting point depends on the day, at the Rocher Saint-Germain, in Milly-la-Forêt or at Larchant.

The price is per group, of one to four people: as an example they publish €200 for two. For larger groups they prepare a quote. You can go from age 4, so it suits families. The instructor brings the crash pads, climbing shoes in your size and chalk; you bring water, something to eat if it is the full day, comfortable clothes and trainers.

With the Pays de Fontainebleau tourist office they also organise a half-day bouldering introduction on Saturday afternoons, from February to June, which is booked at the tourist office.

## Bookings and cancellation

Private sessions are requested with the form on their website and they reply within 24 hours; weekends fill up early. The date can be changed at no cost up to 48 hours before. If it rains, the session is postponed without charge: wet sandstone breaks and is slippery. The phone number is +33 6 50 30 44 20. The website is in French and does not indicate other languages.
