CAREFUL  

On Saturday 20 all day and Sunday 21 until 13:15, there will be no direct Transilien R between Paris and Fontainebleau due to works by Ile-de-France Mobilités.

  • Enjoy a weekend in the land of Fontainebleau!

When you arrive in Fontainebleau on Friday evening, you will be able to enjoy a full weekend and a real change of scenery! On one of the days, come and live a rich experience at the castle and immerse yourself in historical re-enactments to come and say goodbye to Napoleon, 210 years later. On the second day of the weekend, take a walk in the Fontainebleau region: forest, villages of character… Find all the cultural or rejuvenating activities near the castle right here.
