Since then, thousands of boulders have been climbed, and the quality of the sandstone so characteristic of the Fontainebleau forest has made it a world reference, visited by climbers from the 4 corners of the globe.

The Climb With Us team is made up of climbing enthusiasts, all natives and locals of the Fontainebleau forest. Come and discover this magnificent forest for half a day, and learn how to climb on natural boulders! Equipment required: sportswear, water bottle.
