Mer de Sable of the Forest of Fontainebleau

Highlight • Natural Monument

At this place in the heart of the woods, the soil changes, the trees are more spaced apart and reveal sand and rocks subject to erosion. From this silted clearing, which acts as a parking lot, the hiking trails begin towards a small sea of sand, a geological curiosity nestled in the forest.
The Mer de Sable is now far from its mining past. From 1910, it was exploited for its quality sandstone and sand. The operation transported its production by air carrier to the Loing canal in Bagneaux-sur-Loing. The mine shut down in the early 1950s and remains from that time can be seen nearby.
