Unusual: go for a ride with sled dogs in the Fontainebleau forest (77)

A Mecca for rock climbers and hikers, with the famous 25 moguls circuit known for its particularly steep gradients, the Fontainebleau forest is one of the most beautiful natural areas to discover in the Île-de-France region. To discover this beautiful area in a slightly more unusual way - and a little less sporty - a train also takes you through the forest aboard historic carriages and locomotives. Even more unusual, thePays de Fontainebleau Tourist Office offers you the chance to board a kart pulled by sled dogs for a ride in the heart of the Île-de-France countryside.
