Thousands of sandstone boulders lie scattered over an area of 1,200 square kilometres of pine, beech and oak forest.

With descriptions of the areas and the circuits and grades found in each, this easy-to-use guide is full of useful and practical advice, tips on where to go after rain or in hot weather, on accommodation and on child-friendly areas. Easy to read, full-colour maps show the starting point, layout and key boulders for each circuit.There are over 100 maps, just under 100 circuits and more than 3,000 boulder problems, together with stories and anecdotes on the famed history of Fontainebleau climbing.
