The Forest of Fontainebleau is one of the places in the world where bouldering was born: thousands of sandstone rocks a few metres high, without a rope, with a crash pad underneath. This introduction is the way to try it with a professional instructor.
What it is like
A mid-afternoon session in a sector of the forest with an instructor from Climb With Us, who brings the climbing shoes, crash pads, brush and chalk. You bring sports clothes and water. It is run in French. The dates are Saturdays at 13:00: 14 November 2026 and, in 2027, 20 February, 13 and 27 March, 10 and 17 April, 1 and 22 May and 5 and 19 June. Book at the tourist office, online or on +33 1 60 74 99 99.
What you need to know
The meeting point is in the forest and cannot be reached by public transport: you need a car. If it has rained, the session is cancelled: wet sandstone is fragile and slippery.
