Coquibus Longs Vaux (Sensitive biological reserve)
Coquibus is a particular and very sensitive part of the forest which must be treated with the greatest respect by visitors. Its status as a biological reserve allows you to climb there but this could one day be called into question due to too many visitors or irresponsible behavior. We ask climbers to limit their presence or otherwise their impact in the different areas of Coquibus as much as possible. In particular, do not go in groups, do not climb after sunset and do not use electrical devices (drones, fans, radios, etc.). Reduce chalk to the strict minimum, erase all traces of your passage and finally do not brush new boulders. Avoid leaving the paths and keep your dog on a leash from April to July.
Coquibus is an area of relative tranquility and rather spared until now, which should continue to be taken care of, abstaining from any equipment. The choice was made not to develop anything at Coquibus because of its ecological value (source ONF: Aménagement des forêts domaniales de Fontainebleau et Trois Pignons).

The Long Vaux area consists of several small sectors, most of them above the Chemin des Longs Vaux, the most important one after 300 to 600 meters (with the boulder of Fata Morgana). Another sector can be attained by turning right after a flat stone on the path, 100m from the parking lot.
From Paris, take the bypass of Milly-la-Forêt and turn left at "La Croix St-Antoine" before the traffic lights. Follow the non-asphalted road for 1km to the parking lot of La Gorge à Véron.
