#JulyTravelSupport We arrived at Fontainebleau after taking the train early in the morning from Paris and driving for about an hour. The first thing I felt as soon as I got off at the city was the difference in the air. In a quiet and secluded atmosphere, the smell of trees and the morning sunlight blended softly. 🌿 Let's start with a walk in the forest Fontainebleau is famous for the wide and beautiful Fontainebleau Forest (Forêt de Fontainebleau), which is called the 'Forest of the King'. The path that unfolds from the entrance is flat and easy to walk, so it's perfect for anyone to take a walk. 🏰 The Palace of Fontainebleau is truly magnificent After walking slowly through the forest, we headed to **Château de Fontainebleau** right next to it. This is the palace where Napoleon I stayed, and it is said to have a history of over 800 years. The exterior of the building was beautiful, but the moment I looked around the interior, I felt like my breath was taken away. Gorgeous chandeliers, marble staircases, murals and gold decorations... Each one was like a work of art, and the weight of history could be felt. #ParisTravel #ParisSuburbsTravel

Fontainebleau Palace – A Journey Through French Royal History

Château de Fontainebleau: A Piece of French History You Can Walk Through If you ask a French person to name a château that really tells the story of France, chances are they’ll say Fontainebleau. Sure, Versailles gets all the fame, but Fontainebleau? That’s where our history lived. It’s a place that feels more real—less like a museum and more like a window into eight centuries of French life. A Home for Kings, Emperors… and Artists Fontainebleau isn’t just another royal residence. It’s the only château in France that was lived in by almost every king or emperor from the Middle Ages to Napoleon III. Imagine that—so many different rulers, styles, and decisions, all in one place. François I, one of our Renaissance kings, really kicked things off in the 1500s. He brought in Italian artists and turned Fontainebleau into a proper palace, full of art and beauty. He’s also the one who made that famous Galerie François I, full of gorgeous frescoes and carvings. It’s basically where the French Renaissance got its groove. Later on, Napoleon loved Fontainebleau too. In fact, it’s where he said goodbye to his soldiers in 1814, right on the grand staircase that still gives people goosebumps today. A Mix of Styles, But All French What’s cool about Fontainebleau is that it doesn’t stick to one style. It’s a mix—Renaissance here, Baroque there, with a bit of Napoleon’s Empire style thrown in. But somehow, it all works together. It feels like a reflection of France itself: complex, layered, elegant. And let’s not forget the gardens. Designed by the best of the best (including André Le Nôtre, who also did Versailles), they’re peaceful, grand, and full of little surprises. Why It Matters to Us For us French, Fontainebleau is more than just a historical building. It’s personal. It’s where major moments in our history happened—not just the fancy stuff, but also the human side of power: love stories, political drama, artistic dreams, even defeat. Walking through Fontainebleau isn’t like flipping through a history book. It’s like being in the story. And that’s something we’re really proud of. So if you’re ever in France and want to understand a bit more about what shaped our country—not just the kings and wars, but the art, the style, the soul—Fontainebleau is the place to go.#france #castle
