Bouldern und Reiten im Forêt du Fontainebleau
Top Unterkunft für alle, die Natur genießen und eine Berghütte wie in den Alpen klasse finden. Die Nähe zu den Parcours und diversen Reiterhöfen ist praktisch und alles, was man braucht ist nahe gelegen. Wir würden uns auf jeden Fall wieder dort einmieten.

Excellent location in Arbonnet Foret.
We registered for 6 adults, but the trip ended up with 2 adults during the first 2-nt; then plus 3 more on the last night. Very nice R&B in the area plus friendly owners. The house provided us everything we need for the trip. Drawback: The property gate is right on the street. When you back out the car, someone must watchout for the traffic and then you must temporary park your car half way on the pavement. Lucky this narrow street has light traffic when we stay there.

Schöner Boulderurlaub mitten im Wald
Wir haben die Unterkunft als Gruppe gebucht hauptsächlich zum Bouldern. Dafür ist diese Unterkunft perfekt, nur wenige Minuten bis zu den Bouldergebieten im Foret de Fontainebleau! Nach dem Sport bietet die Unterkunft die perfekte Ruhe um sich auf der schönen Veranda zu regenieren. Der Besitzer war super freundlich und immer erreichbar bei Fragen oder Problemen. Wir werden diese Unterkunft im nächsten Jahr wieder buchen!

UN PETIT PARADIS DANS LA FORET
Le Chalet Paradis répond parfaitement à la configuration de notre Famille. Mon Fils, ma Belle Fille, et leur petit Bébé de 2,5 mois dans la grande chambre en bas au RDC; leur Fils de 3,5 ans dans la chambre attenante équipée de 2 lits 1 personnes superposés ; pour eux 4 en bas au même niveau que leurs chambres, une grande salle de bain / wc / machine à laver / sèche linge. Nous au deuxième étage sous les combles avec un très grand lit. Au niveau du 1er étage la grande pièce de vie, la cuisines aménagée parfaitement équipée et notre salle de bain / wc. Etre tous ensemble avec nos indépendances et intimité. Je recommande à 100 % ce gîte 5 Etoiles sur 5. Des propriétaires attentifs et accueillants. Et le petit + : un grand placard de jouets et de jeux de société. Et le 2ème petit + : un grand jardin bien clôturé avec les balançoires, la jolie cabane des enfants et d'autres jouets pour s'amuser dehors. Calme, en pleine forêt, tout en étant à quelques minutes de l'autoroute A6 qui permet un accès facile. Hâte d'y retourner !

About the host

Hosted by Frederic Toitot

Host profile image
Hi! We are Pascale et Frédéric, owners of "Chalet Paradis".
We are 44 years old and we have 2 children (aged 12 and 10).
We speak French and English fluently.
Before settling in Fontainebleau, we used to live in London, UK and New York City.
We love meeting new people, travelling, doing sports and spending time in our beautiful region.
We look forward to welcoming you at Chalet Paradis.

Why they chose this property

With Pascale my wife, we used to live in "Chalet Paradis". During 12 years, our children have grown up there. We have always thought that this chalet would be a perfect holiday place, thanks to its prime location amongst the best climbing and hiking sites of the Fontainebleau forest. Previous travellers' reviews (that you can read on this website) have confirmed it. Nature, space, authenticity, sports, culture. All this only 1 hour away from Paris.
Come and enjoy great vacation in our home.
