Adventurers will be delighted by outings into the surrounding forest, visits to the Château de Fontainebleau, or city strolls to soak up the district’s historic aura. But the journey doesn’t end there. The Demeure also offers unique workshops that let you unleash your creativity.

With the "Art in Nature" workshops, from age 7, participants can unleash their creativity in painting or watercolor, drawing inspiration from the surrounding natural wonders. The sessions are scheduled for September 23 and October 28, 2023. For food lovers, the cooking classes led by Chef Adrien Germanicus promise a rich and indulgent culinary journey. Open to ages 11 and up, these sessions invite you to craft mouthwatering dishes such as mushroom ravioli with a velvety mushroom soup, and to discover local flavors. Mark your calendars: these gourmet workshops run on September 9 and 23, then October 7 and 21, November 4 and 18, and December 2 and 16, 2023.

The chef, a fervent advocate for quality and ingredient traceability, spotlights local producers through traditional French recipes. His passion and expertise earned him the Maître Restaurateur label, a hallmark of commitment to authentic, high-quality gastronomy. A flavorful escape is guaranteed in the warm, welcoming setting of the Demeure de Fontainebleau. Note that on Saturday, October 14, for a weekend dedicated to plant-based cuisine, chef Hugo Riboulet will lead a master class open to all! An opportunity to discover the chef's craft!
