Le Saturday 19 September 2026, the Town of Fontainebleau is relaunching its Fitness Event at Lucien Martinel Gymnasium, Route de l’Ermitage. A day of physical activities supervised by instructors from the Sports Department, free and open to all, from complete beginners to seasoned walkers.

The poster announces ten years of sport. One Saturday a month, from April to October, the council’s Maison Sport-Santé runs short, accessible sessions with no membership required. The session on 19 September kicks off the season and is pulling out all the stops: seven different activities, spread across the morning and afternoon.

In the morning, four wellness workshops at the sports hall

See you at 9.45 am in front of the sports hall. First slot at 9.50 am to 11.00 am :

• Sophrology with Cécile Cuby: relaxation and breathing exercises.

Second time slot of 11.15 am to 12.15 pm, with yoga, strength training and sophrology back on the programme. That’s enough to fit in two workshops in the same morning.

In the afternoon, we’re off to the forest
