I love bouldering at Fontainebleau. There are so many wonderful things about it. All those boulders scattered through a pretty wood. A stunning amount of climbing, in a wide variety of forms and often on boulders that weird, beautiful or both. The different characters of the climbing areas. The feeling of community among the climbers. The inland beaches that make for good landings and nice places to have a picnic. That it’s a giant, wooded playground for kids (more about that in my next post).
Fontainebleau’s not somewhere I get the chance to go very often and I always leave wanting to go back.
UPDATE: 19 May 2019 – I’ve written an expanded blog post about bouldering at Fontainebleau with a toddler that uses my experiences of this and earlier trips.

Never seen such weird-looking rock – the surface looks like elephant-hide or something!
Yeah – weird and wonderful.
I have never seen the bumpy effect that is on some Font boulders anywhere else. It’s interesting to see and climb on.
Best wishes,

I can’t wait to get there someday. My bf was there about a year ago and loved it. I agree with the comment above – such bizarre rock formations! Love it! http://www.allezgirl.com
It’s an easy place to love if you love bouldering. Definitely worth the trip if you get the chance.
Best wishes,
