Learn more about hotels in Fontainebleau

Fontainebleau, a commune situated just over 55 kilometers southeast of Paris’s bustling centre, boasts the largest land expanse in the Île-de-France region. Known for its renowned forest, a beloved retreat for Paris's inhabitants, and the historic Château de Fontainebleau – a past abode of 34 French sovereigns from Louis VI to Napoleon III – the region carries a special allure.

Fontainebleau, directly translated to ‘spring in the forest’ from its medieval compound roots, could not bear a more apt moniker. Revered for its pivotal role in France’s history, Fontainebleau has witnessed significant historical events such as the signing of the 1685 Edict of Fontainebleau and the hosting of the Treaty of Fontainebleau in 1762. The presence of INSEAD, one of the world's elite business schools, also bolsters its prominence.

Attracting over 13 million visitors to its forest and more than 300,000 to its palace annually, Fontainebleau remains a beloved tourist destination due to its richness in history, natural beauty, and legacy of royal grandeur.

When to visit Fontainebleau

Fontainebleau's appeal is undeniable anytime, but for optimum weather conditions, planning your visit from May to October is advisable. These months bring the most pleasant climate, with July and August marking the warmest periods. However, keep in mind that these months also draw the largest crowds, with a surge in tourism that may impact your experience.

Rainfall is relatively frequent throughout the year, with May, June, July, and December being the wettest months. Conversely, the early months of the year, particularly January and February, experience fewer tourist footfalls, offering a quieter vibe and a wintry magic all its own. Choose your timing wisely to make the most of your sojourn in this beautiful French commune.
