Forêt de Fontainebleau

The provided research materials do not contain specific information regarding the Forêt de Fontainebleau (Fontainebleau Forest) as a distinct tourist attraction with its own history, opening hours, or admission fees. The available texts focus exclusively on the Château de Fontainebleau (Palace of Fontainebleau) and its immediate grounds.

The Château is open daily except Tuesdays, January 1, May 1, and December 25. Hours vary by season: 9:30 AM to 6:00 PM from April to September, and 9:30 AM to 5:00 PM from October to March. Last admission is 45 minutes before closing. Admission to the Château is €17 for full price and €15 for reduced rates, including access to the Grands Appartements and Napoleon I Museum. The park and gardens surrounding the Château are open 24/7 and are free of charge. The Courtyards and Gardens are open daily, with hours from 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM in May–September and 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM in November–February. Note that the Jardin de Diane and Jardin Anglais close earlier.

While the forest is a natural attraction within the Pays de Fontainebleau region, the current research does not provide details on hiking trails, rock climbing areas, or specific forest landmarks. Travelers interested in the forest are advised to consult official hiking guides or the Fontainebleau Tourism Office for trail maps and safety information. The provided texts do not support a description of the Forêt de Fontainebleau, as the necessary logistical, historical, and contextual details are absent. Visitors should focus on the well-documented palace and its free-access grounds to fully experience the site’s heritage.
