Chestnut 🌰 and mushroom 🍄 hunt in the 'forest of the King'!

"IT'S A MEGA YEAR FOR MUSHROOMS!" (Says the French press - article in comments) - so lets get out of Paris to the nature!!

A forest bigger than all of Paris, an ancient sea still strewn with boulders and the most popular forest of the Paris region - the Forest of Fonatinebleau is enormous - taking in several villages and of course the town and famous Chateau itself.

Join us as we hike the 'king of the woods' part of the forest of Fontainebleau - an area that once even hosted oil rigs and the stone quarries that delivered the pavements of Paris!

Hear stories of the famous impressionist artists who made the area their home and search for mushrooms and chestnuts - followed by (weather permitting) roasting the chestnuts on the fire.
