Thank you for the well worded comment. I completely understand where you are coming from. It was my brother who was momentarily climbing on the chateaux and he was told to get down very soon after the photos were taken. I was just snapping shots from a distance and certainly don’t condone the action. While I don’t think the photos will necessarily encourage others to builder on historical monuments, I will happily take the photos off for the reasons you listed above. I treat the areas that we are allowed to climb in with complete respect and encourage others to do so.

Thanks,

Carlo

However, this is Fontainebleau afterall… Enchanted and magical as you put it.

In my opinion, climbing on the old historic châteaux and posting pictures of it is definitely not a wise move from your part as a pro Carlo. Especially if you consider some of the acces issues we’ve seen in Fontainebleau lately.
When we go to Fontainebleau we are guests. We have to remember that and behave as suchs (this also goes for non-climbers of course). The acces is not granted and we all share the responsibility to keep it intact.

This is in no way an attack on you Carlo.
