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. 3 areas are freely provided with Topo Bleau: Cul de Chien, Rocher Canon and Paris The main extension includes georeferenced boulders in the following areas : Bas Cuvier, Cuvier Nord/Ouest/Est, Cuvier Merveille Bois Rond, Canche aux Merciers, L'Anarchodrome Gorge aux Chats, Franchard Isatis, Cuisinière, Sablons, Point de Vue, Ermitage et Druides Rocher Fin, Rocher Saint Germain, Rocher du Potala J.A.
