Château de Fontainebleau - Virginie Marty

In the company of Alexandre Quinzan, the project manager at the Château de Fontainebleau, discover how a castle is built and the different ways in which it is designed and decorated. Away from the stately apartments reserved for sovereigns, the visit will lead you to the discovery of guest apartments reserved for courtesans of passage and their servants.

About the location

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.
