Fontainebleau Forest closed to the public until 7 August 2026 inclusive
Following the fires in July, prefectural orders dated 29 July 2026 prohibit access to the Fontainebleau state-owned forest, regardless of the area, as well as to the state-owned forests of La Commanderie and Nanteau-Poligny, the municipal forest of Nemours and the closed-off area of Les Trois-Pignons. Burnt roots weaken the trees, which may fall long after the fire has passed, and the ONF is continuing its inspections and safety work. The ban is likely to be extended: we are keeping an news feed on the forest fires in Fontainebleau.
What if the forest became your yoga studio? The’Tourist Office offers a A walk to discover yoga in the forest of Fontainebleau, a morning to slow down and reconnect, the Sunday 28 June 2026 at 9.30 am.
The idea is simple and delicious: alternate between gentle walk and yoga postures, amidst the tall trees and sandstone formations. Far from the hustle and bustle and screens, the setting does much of the work. The tranquillity of the forest in the early morning, the light filtering through the leaves, the scents of the undergrowth: everything invites you to breathe more slowly and let go of tension.
Led by a professional, the session is open to all ability levels, including beginners, aged 12 and over. You can enjoy the rejuvenating benefits of forest therapy without any technical jargon: just movement, breathing and the forest all around you. A brilliant way to get a summer Sunday off to a good start.
Sunday 28 June at 9.30am. Price : 18 €, from 12 years. Please wear comfortable clothing and bring a mat if you have one. Booking is essential via the Tourist Office; the meeting point will be provided upon registration.
