What to expect
You'll spend the morning wandering Provins' narrow streets, inspecting stone gateways and market halls that anchor its heritage as a medieval commerce crossroads. After a lunch break (your own cost, 20–40€), the afternoon moves to Fontainebleau, where you'll tour richly furnished rooms and grand halls reflecting centuries of royal occupation. Expect substantial walking at both sites. A driver or guide manages timing and tickets, so you move between attractions without fumbling schedules. The bulk of the 10–12 hours covers driving time between Paris and the two destinations.
