August 2018 - we decided to do the tour along the WHS sites south of Paris. Coming from Chartres we drove through the Foret de Fontainebleau to finally reach the castle.
We only did one single stope to take a short hike to some rocks. From the street, it appears like a nice deep forest. If its an old beech forest, it should be included in the beech forestst of Europe.
the area is pretty oslated, not many town, or tourist spots. But The castle is worth a trip.
