Location in Ile-de-France

The L'Axel restaurant welcomes you to Fontainebleau. In Ile-de-France, our restaurant can be found at just sixty or so kilometres to the south-east of Paris.

The forest and the famous Palace of Fontainebleau can be found just a few minutes' walk away, offering guests the opportunity to enjoy a countryside outing and treat themselves to a visit of one of the emblematic sites of French history.

Also known as the equine capital of France, Fontainebleau is home to several horse-riding centres and equestrian events. Not far from the L’Axel restaurant, at the heart of the national forest, the Grand Parquet stadium hosts major national and international equestrian competitions, while the La Solle hippodrome, one of the oldest in France, is a must for horse-racing enthusiasts. Finally, the military riding arena is housed in the palace's former stables and hosts group visits.​
