Sightseeing
Château de Fontainebleau
Fascinating trip into the past.
Charming village and former site of the annual Gipsy Jazz festival at the end of June (now in Fontainebleau). Go visit Django Reinhardt's grave in the cemetery at the top of the hill and where he lived at the bottom of the cobblestone street by the river.

Drinks & Nightlife
A 'must' for lovers of the French way of life. It's a kind of living museum of the French paradox. Live music every Saturday. Irish jam sessions. Huge choice of bottled beer. Stinky cheeses.
