Fot the gîtes, try the official website here :
http://www.itea1.com/...ffb764e53f4b4772b77b
depending on when you want to go, you must usually book more than one month before to find a free gite during a week-end within a 30 km range, and almost 3 months before for a gite within the forest. Or so is my personal experience based on 3 winter week-ends for 8 persons there.
But if you are traveling in a very small group or during the week, it should be MUCH easier.

alternatively, you can try budget hotels like Formule 1 or Etap: it will be really cheap, if not very cosy! You would definitely need a car though, as they are not directly in the forest, but then, that's true of any kind of accomodation around Bleau.
Have fun,

Further to what Thomas said, the gites are expensive!! I am there (Fontainebleau) once a month, and the most economical option (besides camping in the forest, which is not legal) I have found is to stay either at the étap hotel, or the Formula 1. Formula 1 is totally shitty, shared bathroom, and farther from the climbing - but cheaper. Etap is the first choice - in town, just a few bucks more than Formula 1, private bathroom.
Google the hotel name + Fontainebleau and you can make your bookings online.

yep! Well, I figure that now that I am stuck in bed with the ankle in a cast heavier than a full trad rack, I may as well surf on RC, give advice and pretend I am still a climber... or maybe is it just masochism?
