Fontainebleau Palace: A must-visit if you have time, the French royal heritage

#Palace Château de Fontainebleau is a royal palace near Paris. With the Paris Museum Pass, you can visit the Château de Fontainebleau for free without buying a ticket, and basically no reservation is required. It is also one of the largest royal palaces in France. It is located in the town of Fontainebleau and is a palace with a history of more than 800 years. This hunting palace was renovated and expanded by successive kings from Francis I to Louis XVI, eventually becoming the palace we see today. During the French Revolution in 1789, Louis XVI was overthrown. The Palace of Fontainebleau was not destroyed, but all the valuable furniture in the palace was sold. It was not until 1804 that Napoleon proclaimed himself emperor here, bringing the long-silent Palace of Fontainebleau back to life. It was not until the Franco-Prussian War in 1870 that the Second French Empire collapsed and this place was no longer a royal residence. The area around Fontainebleau is a place of beautiful scenery, lush forests and numerous historical sites, including the Royal Palace, which became a national museum in 1927 and was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1981 for its unique architecture and historical importance.
