The final destination of your train can be one of the following; Montereau, Montargis, Sens or Laroche-Migennes. This is what will be displayed on the Departures board. So make sure to ask what the final destination of the next train stopping in Fontainebleau is, in order to find the platform it will leave from. They leave from any one of two sets of platforms – ‘numbered’ platforms at one end of the station and ‘lettered’ platforms at the other.
