← Back : Where to park in Fontainebleau
For a 1/2 day or the day, covered/public car parks are the most worry-free solution: access 24/24, easy payment, close to the centre and the Château.
Why choose a covered/public car park?
✅ Tranquillity
Stress-free parking for several hours (no maximum on-street time or fines to deal with).
Work on offer : more than 1,400 seats (one source mentions approx. 1 600 overall).
📍 Proximity
As close as possible to shopping streets and Château Ideal for sightseeing, shopping and restaurants.
Main car parks (centre & Château)
| Car park | Type & proximity | Timetable | Special features |
|---|---|---|---|
| Market (Place de la République) | Covered, city centre | 24/24 | 🎫 Offer weekend : 3 h = 2,20 € (Fri-Sat-Sun). |
| Napoleon | Covered, 2-3 min du Château | 24/24 | Direct access to the castle and historic centre. |
| Place d'Armes | Outside, facing the Château | 24/24 | Very practical in fine weather (esplanade). |
| Château | At the foot of the Château | 🌙 Free 7-9pm | Perfect for an evening meal after your visit. |
| Step | Covered, practical for the East End | 24/24 | Good access to the upper part of the Rue Grande. |
💡 Budget Compare a day on the street with a day in a car park. For more than 2-3 hours, parking is often cheaper (and avoids an FPS).
