    A wonderful place to go zip lining for children and adults. The guys who work in the zip lining section of the forest are absolutely great and helpful and ensure the childrens' safety. A wonderful place to do rock climbing. A wonderful place to relax! We had a very memorable sunny October Sunday at the Forêt de Fontainbleau!
