Hop aboard the R-line train in Paris—virtually identical to the RER light rail but with fewer stops—for a smooth, one-hour direct journey to the magnificent Palace of Fontainebleau! The one-way fare is just €2.50, and day, week, or monthly passes covering zones 1-5 are all valid. 😮
My French colleagues often remark that it feels quite far, but as a Beijing resident where an hour barely gets you across town, this trip feels wonderfully short and convenient! 😅
Once there, you’ll discover sprawling, beautifully manicured gardens and a vast, inviting forest ideal for leisurely picnics or energetic hikes.
(Word to the wise: watch your step near the lakeside lawns—they’re unfortunately dotted with dog droppings, so tread carefully if you wander that way! 😬)
The train ride to Fontainebleau feels quick and easy, especially if you’re used to longer commutes. The palace’s history and beauty make it worth the trip. I liked how the article highlighted the affordable access. It’s a great spot for a day out.
