Juliette
Had an amazing day with Ivan! He showed multible places and helped us with the difficulty of understanding an outdoor boulder. I would recommend this to everyone who wants to boulder in nature and has no experiance outside the gym yet.

Big Thanks for making my very first rock climbing so great!
Daniel
Great trip. Ivan is an excellent guide and full of good advice to improve my climbing. Heknew just which boulders to pick to challenge me without being too hard for a first time climbing outdoors. I would recommend this experience to anybody visiting Fontainbleu, whatever your level.
Cassidy
We had a fantastic time on our guided day-tour of bouldering in Fontainebleau. I would highly recommend this experience, especially if you don't have a rental car, or if you want to maximize your limited climbing time in Fontainebleau. Our guide, Léo, was very fun and knowledgeable, helping with beta and finding interesting boulders of suitable difficulty (one girl in our group was far more advanced at climbing than the other 2 of us, and Leo was able to find bouldering areas where we could still be in close proximity to each other). He also brought some delicious homegrown strawberries from his own farm which was amazing and unexpected!
