Bulle et Dôme des Champs

Once suitably relaxed and ready to intrepidly explore the locale, set off to explore the local countryside on foot or by bike, or take to the car for days of woodland wanders, old town ambles and active adventuring. Right from the site you can hot foot it along the most merveilleux GR 111 hiking trail, which stretches all the way down from Saint-Michel-sur-Orge to the pretty settlement of Milly-la-Forêt, 15 kilometres away: while strolling around its splendid old streets, make sure you go and take a look at its smashing sculpture, Le Cyclop, and explore its 74ft-high mirrored surface via the maze-like walkways that surround it. When the weather is warm, it’s highly likely that a cooling dip would be most welcome: in Buthiers is a splendid waterpark around which bathers of all ages can laze, splash and have their watery fun among its waterslides and wave pool. Also splendidly, in the complex is also an adventure tree climbing centre with high ropes courses for those with the urge to pursue adrenalised activities while there. Speaking of which, rope climbers and boulderers will be well placed here for trips to the famed climbing spots dotted around the biggest, most developed and oft lauded best bouldering area in the world: Fontainebleau forest. Also from Font you’ll be able to take to the basket of a hot air balloon for sky-high drifts slowly above the land’s verdant woodlands and vineyards, floating plast historic towns, villages and medieval monuments as you go.
