Private transfer in 2 hr between Reims and Fontainebleau via the A5. €290 (~$325 USD) flat rate, Mercedes sedan or van. The royal UNESCO château, the forest of Fontainebleau with its world-famous bouldering and hiking, and the Le Nôtre gardens. A quieter, more intimate alternative to Versailles.

Fontainebleau is 180 km / 112 mi from Reims via the A5, a 2 hr drive with no major congestion. The château is a UNESCO World Heritage site and was the residence of the kings of France from François I to Napoleon III. It is an elegant alternative to Versailles, far less crowded, yet with interiors every bit as prestigious. The surrounding forest is known across Europe for its bouldering and hiking, and the town is home to the INSEAD business school.
Drop-off zones : The château de Fontainebleau (cour des Adieux), the visitor car park, the forest (Apremont and Bas-Bréau bouldering sites), the town of Fontainebleau, Fontainebleau-Avon station and the INSEAD campus.
Recommendation : Fontainebleau is calmer than Versailles: shorter queues and a more intimate atmosphere. For bouldering or hiking, plan a full day with the driver at your disposal so you can reach the forest sites and be collected in the evening.
