Around the golf

Fontainebleau may be most famous for the château's royal former residents, but the town and surrounding area are also worth a visit. The vast forest is suitable for a wide range of activities (cycling, horse-riding, rock climbing), and the surrounding villages and countryside were beloved by the Impressionists and their predecessors.

ROYAL GREEN

Château de Fontainebleau

Surrounded by 130 hectares of park and gardens, and listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site, the château was host to royal residents for eight centuries. François I, Henri IV and Louis XVI all left an exceptional artistic legacy from their time. Napoléon I, describing it as "a true residence of Kings, their home over the centuries", renovated and refurnished it.

Château de Vaux le Vicomte

A masterpiece of classical art, where the arts, good taste and sophistication come together, this estate is the work of three geniuses: the architect Le Vau, the painter Le Brun and the gardener Le Nôtre. It inspired the building of the Château de Versailles. From May to October, the grounds are lit with 2,000 candles, fireworks and a champagne bar in the gardens, for unforgettable moments.

Château de Courances

Privately owned and still lived in, the château blooms in a haze of trees, valleys and light. The 75-hectare park, listed as a Jardin Remarquable, reflects several eras: classical park in the 17th century, French style in the 18th century, Japanese gardens and more. Gourmet dinners are held here, cooked with organic vegetables from the kitchen garden, and 3 gîtes open.
