Fontainebleau Maybe Fontainebleau is not the first name that pops into your mind if you think about climbing, but the forests around the village hide one of the finest bouldering sites in the world. This site was already discovered in the 30’s and has grown to be a real bouldering Mecca. The climbing is on sandstone which causes friction problems. To push up the stakes there are lots of boulders with very tiny edges, and lots of overhanging moves. Fortunately the boulders are arranged in circuits, according to their difficulty and there are several schools that provide excellent trainings and guidance. It is relatively easy to follow a circuit, but it is very useful to have the guidebook and it’s virtually impossible to find the beginning of each circuit without it.
