@Château de Fontainebleau

It was in January 1600 that Henry IV gave the order to build this large gallery of 74 meters long and 8 meters wide, connecting the Oval courtyard to the aviary. Thirteen cavalry views of the main castles and hunting forests of the royal estates fit into stucco-like frames and leather-patterned cartouches.

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.
