    History, architecture & nature

    Nestled within 130 hectares of charming parks and gardens, Château de Fontainebleau has been recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1981. The magnificent furnishings in the sovereign rooms, created for Napoleon III's Court, will astound you. See the throne of Napoleon, the bed of Marie Antoinette, and the 1807 picture of Empress Josephine in her coronation regalia by François Gérard. Explore the galleries where the court used to meet, as well as 3 opulent chapels and 4 museums of art.

    After the revolt in 1814, Napoleon renovated the Château himself, referring to it in his memoirs as 'the true home of Kings.' It was here that Louis XIII had a joyful boyhood, learning to hunt, play tennis, and sketch. Château de Fontainebleau, with more than 1500 rooms and 130 acres of parkland, was and remains a breathtaking labyrinth of French beauty, culture, and architecture.
