What travelers think of our Paris experiences
What you’ll do
Discover the fairytale town of Fontainbleau and its must-see sights, like the opulently decorated Château de Fontainebleau and the surrounding dense forest – but with your local host’s insider knowledge, you’ll also experience for yourself why Parisians adore a pilgrimage here. Peruse the town’s chic perfume shops, sample mouth-watering gingerbread macarons at Dardonville boulangerie, or head to Fromagerie Barthelemy for its signature Le Fontainebleau cheese - they’ve been making it for over a century. But don’t be fooled by the charming, village-like vibe – this small town boasts a surprisingly cosmopolitan nightlife scene, and your host knows the perfect stylish bar for a glass of vin rouge before heading back to Paris.
