Born half a century before the Louvre, and five centuries before Versailles, the Château de Fontainebleau is thus one of the favorite places of stay of our sovereigns, and this for eight hundred, from the XIIth century until the Second Empire. At the heart of an estate of one hundred and thirty hectares of gardens, its thousand and five hundred pieces preserve exceptional collections that make it one of the most furnished castles among the French castles. A discovery not to be missed.

À propos du lieu

Château de Fontainebleau
Place du Général de Gaulle 77300 Fontainebleau
  • Seine-et-Marne
  • Île-de-France
Palace with 1,500 rooms spread out in the heart of 130 hectares of park and gardens. Residence of the French sovereigns since the 12th century, entirely rebuilt by François I who kept only the keep formerly inhabited by King Saint Louis, and had a sumptuous interior decoration executed by Italian artists under the direction of Rosso and the Primatice (group of artists known as the Fontainebleau School). Notably enlarged by Henri IV, modified from the seventeenth to the nineteenth centuries by his successors, who partly destroyed the decoration of the sixteenth century.
