Just 32 minutes from Gare de Lyon, a refreshingly bucolic getaway is just around the corner at Bois-le-Roi. At the heart of this leisure island, two lakes in an exceptional setting stretch right through the Fontainebleau forest. Here, a range of activities, from the most peaceful to the most sporting, are available. And to top it all off, access is free!
This idyllic Ile-de-France beach is located in the heart of a forest.
To get away from the hustle and bustle of the capital and take a well-deserved break, the Ile de loisirs de Bois-le-Roi is one of the easiest places to get to. Like Buthiers, this base is located in the heart of the Fontainebleau forest. It offers a magical setting, combining the tranquillity of a green space with the beauty and freshness of a large beach.
With a surface area of 73 hectares, including 8 hectares of water, this extraordinary area is perfect for a change of scenery. Open to the general public from 9 a.m. to 6:45 p.m., the Bois-le-Roi leisure island can be reached in just over 30 minutes by Transilien train.
The base’s appeal is largely due to its lakes. Their proximity to Paris makes them a quick and easy refreshing break! Here, there’s no mistaking the choice between the two lakes. One is surrounded by forest, the other by beaches and lawns. So it’s just as easy to enjoy a refreshing swim after lazing in the sun as it is to indulge in a water sports activity, such as canoeing or paddling. But when it comes to activities, the field is wide open. Horse-riding, golf, skateboarding, climbing, mountain biking, accrobranche and the list goes on: there’s something for every taste and every physical condition.
Whether you’re looking for sport or relaxation, this is the perfect getaway in the Paris region!
