Fontainebleau Forest (Foret de Fontainebleau)

This 49,000-acre forest is one of the biggest in France.

Reviewed By Voyageurdumonde7

La Foret de Fontainebleau is wonderfully beautiful. It's a great place to walk for hours and just get lost in your thoughts as you go through the forest. The forest is beautiful all throughout the year, weather you visit in Winter, Spring, Summer or Fall, it'll always have something to offer. There are many boulders and rocks to climb and it's a great place for hiking as well. I recommend visiting for a pleasant walk through this magical forest.

A huge selection of shops, restaurants and cafes under cover in a spotlessly clean mall with a huge supermarket too. This really is everything under one roof.

The Saint-Jean's Gate and The Ramparts

These magnificent structures, which are currently being restored, were built in the 13th century. Growing as the city grew, they protected and surrounded, in the Middle Ages, the entire city of Provins. Today we can admire a beautiful part, and the complexity of the towers, which each have a different shape. Two fortified gates are still visible: the Saint-Jean gate, with its two almond-shaped towers, which defended the old Paris Road; and the Jouy gate, once surmounted by a bell, a small keep with a bell, which made it possible to watch out for the enemy and warn in case of danger.

These splendid fortified walls built in13th century are really very impressive. The gate’s purpose with its two almond-shaped towers, was to ensure protection of the old road to Paris. Walk alongside these walls and feel the medieval atmosphere of the town. You can also get on top of the wall and enjoy the great view of the town and the fields surrounding the town.

Cathedrale Saint-Etienne

Reviewed By antmontaq - Sydney, Australia

The signature Cathedral of Meaux of what started off as a Romanesque style building which then redone in Gothic style. The Cathedral opens daily to the public but no services as it's going through some restoration work to the western façade portals and the organ buffet inside. It's stupendously magnificent inside and because of its overall height inside it allows natural light to illuminate the interior. Most notable is the monument to jacques Bénigne Bossuet, born in Dijon and was a bishop of Meaux, and is buried in the Cathedral. The stunning stained-glass windows, especially around the ambulatory area behind the high altar, are spectacular. My favourite is the "vasari corridor" that connects the Bishopric Palace to the cathedral at one of the left chapels behind the high altar. It's mesmerisingly beautiful and a must visit monument of Meaux. You might also like to visit the Bishops Palace and the Bossuet Garden, all in one glorious site.
