Fontainebleau Forest (Foret de Fontainebleau)

This 49,000-acre forest is one of the biggest in France.

Reviewed By Voyageurdumonde7

La Foret de Fontainebleau is wonderfully beautiful. It's a great place to walk for hours and just get lost in your thoughts as you go through the forest. The forest is beautiful all throughout the year, weather you visit in Winter, Spring, Summer or Fall, it'll always have something to offer. There are many boulders and rocks to climb and it's a great place for hiking as well. I recommend visiting for a pleasant walk through this magical forest.

Chateau de Vaux-le-Vicomte

Vaux le Vicomte is the creation of three men brought together by Nicolas Fouquet, Louis 14th's finance minister, the landcape architect Andre le Nôtre, the architect Louis le Vau and the painter-decorator Charles le Brun. The perfect harmony between architecture and landscape is the result of their collaborative genius. From its unveiling at the famous fête of august 17th, 1661, Vaux le Vicomte aroused the envy of the Sun King and became the model that inspired the whole of Europe, including Versailles.Vaux le Vicomte can be visited during the day or at night with 2000 candles (on Saturdays from may to beginning of october)Easy access by train or by bus from paris.

Breathtaking chateau SE of Paris reached by train and free bus.Finished in 1661 by architect Fouquet in Louis IV style, it blends magnificent landscaping and interior design with the classic architecture. An audible tour is available and worthwhile. Most of the chateau including the top tower and the ornately decorated rooms can be accessed. Much of chateau at Versailles was copied from here. There were not too many visitors when we went. A quaint little cafe and a tempting shop are also available.

Moret-sur-Loing

Reviewed By tofrek1885 - Shrewsbury, United Kingdom

Moret is one of my favourite towns. A walled mediaeval frontier town with original gateways, the views of it from and around the river, the bridge and the mill streams are really beautiful. It is a pleasant place just to wander around and take in some of its historic buildings (like the church) and while it is not grand on the scale of some better-known "tourist town" it is well worth a stroll through (with coffee to follow!) if you are near.

Chateau de Blandy-les-Tours

Restored by the Conseil Général de Seine-et-Marne, this castle, rare example of medieval military architecture in Île-de-France, strikes up a permanent dialogue between patrimony and contemporary artistic creation.

Reviewed By laberma - Philadelphia, United States

This was my first visit to Blandy, but I hope not my last. I took the chateau bus from the station in Verneuil l'Etang and, after the stop at Vaux le Vicomte, I was the only one left on the bus, and once at the chateau, felt like I had a wholly personal experience, completely alone in this medieval-era marvel. Truthfully, there was a handful of other visitors, but our paths never intersected, so I was able to pretend I was a 12th century inhabitant of Blandy. There are stunning views of the region from the top of the "donjon" and the audio guide added much understanding to the history and drama of the chateau/fortress. The woman at the welcome desk was charming and complimented me on my (very rusty) French, which made me feel special. I loved everything about my visit and the lovely town of Blandy that surrounds the castle. I'm putting it down as a must-visit.
