Camping &
Fontainebleau.
Everything you need to know about where to stay, campsites and what to pack. And how my guided trips take the whole accommodation question off your hands.
Four options.
My honest take — I know all four from my own experience.
Camping Île de Boulancourt (Boulancourt)
Our home base. Right next to the Buthiers bouldering area: short walks, quiet, by the water. This is where we stay with the group on the spring and summer trips.
Camping la Musardière (Milly-la-Forêt)
One of the best-known climbers' campsites, close to Trois Pignons, affordable and centrally located.
Chalet / mobile home (from October)
From October the nights get too cold for a tent. That's when I rent mobile homes for the group right on the campsite. Solid walls, real beds, short walks to the rock. The trip with chalet accommodation costs €699 per person.
Hotels in Fontainebleau town
Pricier, but with every comfort. Fontainebleau has a pretty town centre, a good mix of bouldering and town life.
I take care of the accommodation.
If you come with me, you don't have to sort out camping or accommodation yourself. I book whatever suits the group. You pay once and get everything.
On top of that, I know the best spots, times and lines. Of course you can head to Fontainebleau on your own. But then you'll first lose time finding your feet — time I put in long ago.
