## What is Topo Bleau?

Welcome to Topo Bleau, the application dedicated to climbers in the Fontainebleau forest!

Thanks to Topo Bleau, organise your climbing session: find the area that suits everyone (by type of boulder, by sector, depending on whether you are on foot, by train or by vehicle, between adults or with children...). Each area is accompanied by a detailed description to make the best choice everyday you want to climb.

Topo Bleau also offers you access to nearly 30,000 boulders, including more than 4,600 geo-referenced boulders. Each one is accompanied by a photo that shows the existing openings (like our good old paper topo). Every month, new boulders are added. It's a real guide that will also tell you which are the major boulders of the forest, those that are feasible even if you are not tall, and for the hardest boulders, those that are oriented north (ideal in summer), south (ideal in winter) and even east/west (if you are more of a morning or afternoon person). Also if you only want to do slabs, overhangs or traverses, it is possible to filter. Also, for most boulders, direct links to online videos and circuits allow to save precious time in forest.

Cul de Chien, Rocher Canon and Paris

### 3/5 — Bien mais…

*2024-09-27*

Il faudrait afficher les cotations des blocs sur la carte, pas simplement leur nom.
Le système de filtrage est a revoir : easy, intermediate etc ne veut rien dire et devrait être remplacé par les cotations.
J’ai soumis des blocs mais ils ne sont pas ajoutés… je ne le fais donc plus, dommage.

**Developer response:** Bonjour, les contributions sont toutes ajoutées sans exception. Parfois on ne reçoit cependant pas les photos, sûrement dû à une mauvaise couverture réseau en forêt : mais normalement celles-ci sont toujours dans la mémoire du téléphone et peuvent être envoyées en différé via le menu Accueil -> Contributions. En tout cas, merci pour les contributions déjà envoyées !

### 5/5 — Bravo pour cette super App

### 5/5 — L’application qui manquait pour grimper à Bleau

*2019-08-27*

Cette application est super pratique pour trouver son bloc facilement. Les blocs majeurs semblent bien géolocalisés. Les liens directs vers bleau.info sont très utiles pour trouver plus d’infos sur un bloc en particulier. Je recommande !
