Table du Roi, Historic monument in Fontainebleau Forest, France.
Table du Roi is a sandstone table in the Fontainebleau Forest created as a resting spot for travelers. The structure has a solid surface made of lasting material built to withstand the passage of time.
A French forestry official had the table built in the 1720s for hunting parties to use. The stone later received an engraved inscription marking the date and purpose.
The spot served as a gathering place where forest visitors met and shared moments together. The setting has shaped how people use and experience the woodland to this day.
The table sits freely accessible in the forest and can be reached on foot. Visitors should know it is a simple spot with no facilities or services.
The stone had a surprising second life as a finish line for bicycle races in the early 1900s. This sporting use shows how the forest landscape served different purposes across different times.
