Climbing Helmets: Not Mandatory but Highly Recommended

According to the guidelines from the French Federation of Mountain and Climbing, wearing a helmet is mandatory in Via-Ferrata, canyoning, mountaineering, and ice climbing... but not in climbing. However, during a bouldering session in Fontainebleau or a climbing outing on cliffs, you are never safe from falling rocks or an accidental fall. While wearing a helmet is not yet compulsory for adults in climbing, it is highly advisable.
