The precise distance and time taken for your journey will vary according to the place at which the driver picks you up.
Distance from Paris to Fontainebleau
The distance between central Paris and Fontainebleau is usually between 70 and 80 kilometres.
Transfers generally follow the A6 motorway since this is usually the fastest way to get there when there is normal traffic flow. If the motorway is congested then the driver can use some of the regional roads because this makes the alternative route more sensible.
Distances from Paris airports differ:
| Route | Approximate Distance |
|---|
| Paris city centre to Fontainebleau | 70 km |
| Charles de Gaulle Airport to Fontainebleau | 85 km |
| Orly Airport to Fontainebleau | 60 km |
These figures are only estimates, the exact distance depending on the address from which the item is picked up, the location at which it is dropped off, any traffic diversions and the route taken on the day in question.
Travel Time from Paris to Fontainebleau
The journey from Paris to Fontainebleau usually lasts between 1 hour and 1 hour 30 minutes.

| Route | Peak Period | Off-Peak | Late Night | Early Morning |
|---|
| Paris city centre to Fontainebleau | 1 hr 30 min | 1 hr 10 min | 55 min | 1 hr |
| CDG Airport to Fontainebleau | 1 hr 45 min | 1 hr 20 min | 1 hr 10 min | 1 hr 15 min |
| Orly Airport to Fontainebleau | 1 hr 20 min | 55 min | 45 min | 50 min |

Other Ways to Travel from Paris to Fontainebleau
Train
For passengers departing from one of the convenient stations in Paris, the train offers a practical and inexpensive solution.

It may be less convenient for families, large groups, or travelers who are carrying several suitcases.
Bus
Although bus travel is cheaper, the journey times and schedules are not very flexible and it can be difficult to travel with large amounts of luggage.
Taxi
A regular taxi can offer a direct route and is sometimes available with little notice. The cost will depend on the traffic conditions, the amount of waiting time, and the pricing method employed.
Ride-Hailing Services
Ride-hailing services are convenient provided that vehicles are available; however, prices can go up during busy times and an appropriate large vehicle might not always be available for groups who have luggage.
