Arbonne valley hike in the Fontainebleau forest

A very easy hike in the forest of Fontainebleau.

The walk starts at the parking lot of the Canche aux Merciers. Look carefully at the map to find the parking lot, it is always difficult to find your way on the roads of the Fontainebleau forest. The start of the hike is very well indicated and the signs are very good all along the way. Note that the start is located next to climbing rocks, so you can mix the hike with rock climbing if you want. Beware, the site is well known, the parking lot is quickly full during the summer.

The return is much more interesting. The path becomes narrower and crosses a very beautiful heath with callune. The callune is a plant which looks like the heather.
