    Hiking

    The shapes of the rocks of the Fontainebleau forest never cease to surprise! Here one can see a superb rock in the shape of an elephant.

    Hiking

    A beautiful bouldering area, which is also great for hiking and admiring. You can no longer climb the "Elephant", but there are many other options around it. Definitely worth a trip!
