At Fontainebleau, nature meets history.<\/p>\n

J\u2019ai l\u2019habitude de me rendre \u00e0 Fontainebleau pour y faire de l\u2019escalade parmi les rochers g\u00e9ants (blocs de gr\u00e8s). C\u2019est pour moi l\u2019endroit parfait car on n\u2019est en g\u00e9n\u00e9ral pas tr\u00e8s haut, mais il y a des parcours plus ou moins techniques. Quand on a le vertige, c\u2019est bien pratique! D\u2019ailleurs, cette discipline a un nom: elle s\u2019appelle le \u00a0\u00ab\u00a0Bloc\u00a0\u00bb, ce qui veut dire que l\u2019on peut grimper sans avoir besoin d\u2019\u00eatre assur\u00e9 par une corde vu la faible hauteur des roches. Pour monter, il vous faudra simplement des chaussures d\u2019escalade et un petit tapis pour s\u2019essuyer les pieds et les d\u00e9barrasser des feuilles ramass\u00e9es en marchant d\u2019une roche \u00e0 l\u2019autre.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Pour plus de conseils sur l\u2019escalade \u00e0 Fontainebleau, je vous recommande le site deXavier Langlois <\/a>qui est tr\u00e8s complet.<\/p>\n

Pour les gourmands, \u00e0 l\u2019automne, il y a aussi plein de ch\u00e2taignes \u00e0 ramasser!<\/p>\n

Usually, i go to Fontainebleau to climb rocks under the shade of the trees which is pretty easy, even if you suffer from vertigo, as the rocks are not that high. To climb, all you need is rock climbing shoes and a carpet to wipe your shoes after you\u2019ve walked from one rock to another. No rope is required so the equipment is minimal.<\/em><\/p>\n

If you like to cook and visit the forest in autumn, there is also a lot of chesnuts to gather : it makes\u00a0a very filling dinner after you\u2019ve climbed<\/em>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Cette fois, n\u00e9anmoins, j\u2019ai d\u00e9cid\u00e9 d\u2019aller visiter le ch\u00e2teau o\u00f9 v\u00e9curent notamment Fran\u00e7ois 1er, Henri IV, Napol\u00e9on III\u2026 Chacun y a d\u2019ailleurs laiss\u00e9 sa trace, ou plut\u00f4t son monogramme parfois m\u00e9lang\u00e9 avec celui de son \u00e9pouse, sur les pierres du ch\u00e2teau.<\/p>\n

Il est \u00e9galement class\u00e9 aux monuments historiques et au patrimoine mondial de l\u2019UNESCO et appartient \u00e0 l\u2019Etat.<\/p>\n

On y retrouve des points communs avec d\u2019autres ch\u00e2teaux fran\u00e7ais: la salle du jeu de Paume et la galerie Fran\u00e7ois 1er m\u2019ont fortement \u00e9voqu\u00e9 Versailles et sa galerie des glaces.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This time, I have decided on a visit of the castle, a jewel and UNESCO World Heritage site. it has seen the reign of many king and emperors of France such as Francis\u00a0 1st, Henry IV or Napoleon the 3rd\u2026 Each one has added something to the castle and left is name on\u00a0its walls. In some ways it is similar to some other castles in France: the Francis gallery for example is reminiscent to the Hall of Mirrors in Versailles.<\/p>\n

Alors pourquoi visiter celui-ci en particulier me direz-vous? Pour commencer parce que tous les ch\u00e2teaux de France n\u2019ont pas vu d\u00e9filer autant de rois. On lit sur ses murs le d\u00e9roulement des diff\u00e9rentes \u00e9poques au gr\u00e9 des rajouts royaux. Le travail sur les palfonds est magnifique et peu de salles en r\u00e9chappent.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Enfin la salle du jeu de paume, bien que moins connue que celle de Versailles, et une des trois seules anciennes \u00a0salles encore en activit\u00e9.<\/p>\n

Voil\u00e0 pour l\u2019int\u00e9rieur, mais la visite se poursuit \u00e0 l\u2019ext\u00e9rieur avec un m\u00e9lange de\u00a0Jardins \u00e0 la fran\u00e7aise, jardins anglais, un \u00e9tang, un canal et un grand parc arbor\u00e9. Il y a m\u00eame une grotte. Sortez les appareils photos!<\/p>\n

L\u2019endroit est tr\u00e8s sc\u00e9nique et offre de magnifiques photos: d\u2019ailleurs, nous y avons crois\u00e9 des mari\u00e9s venus r\u00e9aliser leur album photo.<\/p>\n

So why should you visit this one in particular?\u00a0Well, first because not every castle in France as seen a succession of so many different kings. They wrote history in its walls as they added piece after piece to the construction.\u00a0The work done on the ceilings is just beautiful and you\u2019ll see a different technique in almost every room.<\/em><\/p>\n

Finally, the Jeu de Paume room (the ancestor of tennis) is one of the three remaining sites still in use. That\u2019s for the inside, but you should also\u00a0come for the outside.<\/em><\/p>\n

It\u2019s a mixture of Jardins \u00e0 la fran\u00e7aise, english garden, lake, canal and a huge park planted with many trees. There is even a cave. The place is very scenic and it might be time to get your camera out to catch a glimpse of the castle\u2019s majesty. Many people rent the place to take their wedding pictures.<\/em><\/p>\n

Alors, convaincu? Fontainebleau (for\u00eat et ch\u00e2teau) se trouve en Seine et Marne (77), pr\u00e8s de Paris. Personnellement, j\u2019y suis all\u00e9e en car, mais l\u2019endroit est tout \u00e0 fait accessible en voiture.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Un dernier conseil: si vous voulez escalader les rochers en \u00e9t\u00e9, privil\u00e9giez un jour de semaine pour \u00e9viter l\u2019affluence du week-end et sachez que vous risquez de rencontrer des groupes d\u2019enfants venus avec leur classe faire de l\u2019escalade. La p\u00e9riode que je privil\u00e9gie toujours \u00a0est l\u2019automne: moins d\u2019affluence le weekend et pas d\u2019enfants en semaine (ou peu). Et en plus, il y a des ch\u00e2taignes! Que demande le peuple ?<\/p>\n

Have I\u00a0convinced\u00a0you? The castle and the forest can be found in the Seine et Marne department (77), not too\u00a0far from Paris. I\u2019ve gone by coach, but you can also reach it by car. I would advise going to the forest during the week and in autumn as there are less people and less children groups. And you can gather chestnuts which is definitely on the plus side!<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
