The House

Fontainebleau


Superb climber-friendly gite, with four rooms in the 19th-century farmhouse plus a separate apartment; both have kitchens. Great location by the Trois Pignons area. Crashpad rental is free for guests and €7 per day for nonguests (reserve online). The pub a few doors down (Tête des Trains) is fabulous, but only open Friday through Sunday. Tousson is located 22km west of Fontainebleau.
