About Fontainebleau
Fontainebleau is a historic town lying about 55 kilometres to the southeast of central Paris; its most famous feature is the Château de Fontainebleau, a royal residence which was used by the French monarchs for over eight centuries. The palace is known for its decorated apartments, its Renaissance interiors, the grand staircases and its extensive gardens.
People have the opportunity to see various attractions including the Gallery of Francis I, the Throne Room, the Horseshoe Staircase and the apartments of Napoleon I. Moreover, the formal gardens and the parkland surrounding the property make the estate worthwhile as a place to visit apart from the palace itself.
The town has a busy centre featuring restaurants, cafés, shops and a traditional market and is also the home of INSEAD, one of Europe's leading international business schools, which has students, executives and visiting professionals coming to the area all during the year.
The forest of Fontainebleau lies beyond the town and spans over 20,000 hectares. It has woodland paths and sandstone formations which attract people such as walkers, climbers, cyclists and those who love nature. Trips can also be arranged to include the nearby places such as Barbizon, Moret-sur-Loing and the Château de Vaux-le-Vicomte.

Distance from Beauvais Airport to Fontainebleau
The precise distance by road will vary according to your destination and the route the driver chooses. Most trips amount to about 125 to 145 kilometres.
Normally the primary route heads toward the Paris area via the A16, then joins the roads surrounding the capital and proceeds south on the A6. This is usually the most practical choice except during the busiest commuting times.
The driver might use parts of the A86 to avoid central Paris according to the current level of traffic, thereby reducing the delays caused by congestion on the Boulevard Périphérique, especially on weekday mornings and late afternoons.
There is another route which involves the Francilienne, with sections of the N104 included. Even though this route may increase the distance, it can be advisable in situations when traffic is accumulating around western or central Paris. Before deciding on the route to take, your driver will check the current state of the roads.
Travel Time with AKI Paris transfer private taxi
The time taken for a direct journey is generally between 1 hour 50 minutes and 2 hours 45 minutes. The duration will depend on traffic conditions, roadworks, the weather, and the exact place where you are dropped off.
Delays are particularly frequent in the area around the Paris ring roads and at the A6 junctions. The route may also be affected on Friday evenings, during holiday weekends and on Sundays when people are returning towards Paris. Journeys made late at night or early in the morning are generally faster since there are fewer vehicles on the roads.

Other Ways to Travel from Beauvais Airport to Fontainebleau
Train
No railway line runs directly from the airport to Fontainebleau; you must first get to Beauvais railway station or take the airport shuttle to Paris, then go to Gare de Lyon and catch a regional train to Fontainebleau–Avon.
This option is affordable for a single passenger with only light luggage, but the required changes, walking between stations, and crossing the city can make the journey much longer.
Bus / Shuttle
Coaches from the airport link Beauvais and the Paris area, but they don't go to Fontainebleau; once you leave the coach, you'll need to use the Métro, RER, a train, or a separate taxi.
Services depart according to their schedule and may require you to wait after your flight; this option isn't ideal for families, older travellers, or anyone carrying several suitcases.
Taxi
You can get taxis at the airport, and they are available at all times. However, a long journey through the Paris area can be expensive, and during busy arrival times, availability cannot be guaranteed. Furthermore, if the fare is not agreed in advance, the total charge may still depend on traffic and waiting time.
Uber
You can book a ride in the app, but the number of drivers available in Beauvais varies. Drivers might be unwilling to take the journey, as it puts them far outside their normal area of operation. Surge pricing could be introduced during busy times, at night or when multiple flights land at the same time.

Best Time to Travel from Beauvais Airport to Fontainebleau
In the morning the traffic becomes heavy when the commuters reach Paris and travel times between 07:00 and 10:00 are longer, especially on weekdays.
At midday the roads are generally smoother between late morning and mid-afternoon and this time is usually suitable for crossing the Paris region.
In the evening delays may occur between 16:30 and 19:30 since congestion usually sets in on the A86 and the roads leading to the A6.
At night the roads are usually quieter and so this is the best time to travel; however, overnight road maintenance may on occasion mean that you have to take a detour.
