Taxi in Fontainebleau

Fontainebleau, a sub-prefecture of Seine-et-Marne, is world-famous for its palace listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1981. Home to French sovereigns for eight centuries, from Louis VII to Napoleon III, it is the only royal and imperial palace continuously inhabited for seven centuries. Francis I brought Italian artists who created the School of Fontainebleau, a major Renaissance movement. Napoleon made his famous farewell to the Imperial Guard in the Farewell Courtyard on 20 April 1814. The 25,000-hectare national forest is a world-class bouldering destination (Cuvier, Apremont, Bas-Cuvier), attracting millions of visitors annually. INSEAD, one of the world's top business schools, brings a constant flow of international executives. Fontainebleau-Avon station (Transilien R) connects to Paris Gare de Lyon in 40-50 minutes. Strategically located in southern Île-de-France, between Paris and Burgundy.

Fontainebleau and its greater area (Avon, Samois-sur-Seine, Thomery, Vulaines, Bourron-Marlotte, Moret-sur-Loing) generate diverse transport needs: tourists visiting the palace (1.5 million visitors per year), English-speaking INSEAD executives requiring frequent airport transfers, residents for daily errands and medical appointments in Melun, riders at the Grand Parquet (national equestrian centre), and international climbers drawn to the forest's sandstone boulders. Avon, the twin town sharing Fontainebleau-Avon station, forms an urban area of 37,000 with Fontainebleau. TaxiNeo covers this entire zone with local drivers who know the forest roads, palace access points, and shortcuts to the A6 motorway and Francilienne ring road.
