Climbing District Weekend: from indoor climbing... to the legendary boulders of Bleau
Info and pre-booking available
Make Le Lido your base camp:
In partnership with Climbing District, Le Lido campsite hosts you and takes you bouldering (yes, for joy!) with a certified instructor. Here’s what you need to know:
Transport:
Coming by car? Sure, but there’s a greener and cheaper way: a direct 45-minute train from Gare de Lyon and a 7–8-minute walk — and you’re at the campsite!
Accommodation in 6-person mobile homes (€175 package) or tents (€130 package):
Friday and Saturday night stays are included in the mobile home package (with barbecue, sheets, blankets, dishes, etc. provided). A heads-up for mobile homes: they sleep 6, with one double bedroom and two rooms with twin beds. So we recommend forming your own group of six — otherwise, get ready to make new friends!
You can also add a tent to the mobile home pitch at no extra cost (up to 2 people — tent not provided, but rental available; see pre-booking form below).
Another option: Friday and Saturday night stays on a tent pitch (note: gear not provided, tent rental available in limited quantities — booking recommended).
Climbing:
A free shuttle takes you from the campsite to the best bouldering spots in Bleau on Saturday and Sunday, guided by a top-notch instructor. Departures at 9:00 AM, returns at 5:30 PM. The package includes one crashpad for every two people (one climbs, one spots — makes sense, right?).
Food & Drinks:
You’ll be able to refuel at the snack bar (pizzas, toasted sandwiches, paninis, hot and cold drinks — check the website), which also stocks basic groceries (pasta, tomato sauce, tuna, chips, chocolate bars, etc.). One or two food trucks are on site on select weekends (dates on our website).
Bakery service (baguettes, croissants, pain au chocolat) available on pre-order the night before — perfect for breakfast or making sandwiches.
Alternatively, there’s a mini-market in Veneux (open till 10 PM) and a supermarket in Moret (15-minute walk).
Bad Weather:
In case of bad weather preventing climbing, or if the minimum group size of 7 people isn’t reached (we don’t run the bus otherwise…), Le Lido and Climbing District will offer new dates for everyone on another weekend before July 31, or in September or October.
Base Camp Vibes:
The campsite is known for its peaceful atmosphere after a day of climbing in the woods — perfect for resting up and going hard again the next day. So after 10:00 PM, it’s chill mode: time to quietly finish your card game by the firepit.
Nature & Respect:
No open fires allowed on-site (except for barbecues).
We uphold a strong commitment to preserving the beautiful Fontainebleau forest, its wildlife, and its boulders. Leave no trace — clean your shoes before climbing, brush holds after use, no campfires or smoking, and keep noise to a minimum.
Responsibility:
As a lodging provider, we do not cover climbing under our insurance. We encourage you to make the necessary arrangements on your end.
The climbing instructor is selected by our partner Climbing District — be sure to inform them of your level, any discomfort or injuries, and follow their guidance closely.
That’s the essentials!
We also recommend checking out our website for more useful info: available activities (heated pool, mini-golf, etc.), things to do nearby, our general terms and conditions, and the campsite rules.
