A wooden green haven of the Ile-de-France region, the Forest of Fontainebleau receives more than twelve million visitors per year who come to hike, climb, run, cycle, orienteer, take a relaxing stroll or even pick mushrooms early in the morning.The landscape and relief vary greatly and the different types of sandstone and rocks of varying size and difficulty attract rock-climbing enthusiasts from all over France who come to practise their skills, whatever their level.Well-equipped and sign-posted, the forest retains a mysterious charm and wildness that man has not been able to tame; instead, he has preserved the flora and protected the plentiful game, deer, stags, and wild boar. There are some areas where traditional hunting, on horseback and with a pack of hounds, still takes place.
