Fontainebleau Castle

A Royal Retreat Like No Other

Just an hour from Paris, the Château de Fontainebleau stands as one of France’s most iconic historical and architectural gems. Once a royal residence for over eight centuries, this magnificent château is a vivid testament to the nation’s rich and grand past. With its expansive gardens and opulent interiors, Fontainebleau offers visitors a truly unique experience.

Step Inside Royal Splendor

The Château’s interiors are brimming with marvels. A must-see is the François I Gallery, adorned with exquisite frescoes and intricate woodwork. Another highlight is Napoleon I’s Throne Room — the only one in France preserved in its original state. From the royal apartments and grand galleries to intimate chapels, every space reflects the elegance of the eras that have shaped this historic residence.

Stroll Through Majestic Gardens

Spread across more than 130 hectares, the Fontainebleau estate features classical French gardens, romantic English landscapes, and a grand canal. The Garden of Diana and the Deer Park offer peaceful spots for a leisurely walk, while the Grand Parterre — designed by André Le Nôtre — stuns with its symmetry and splendor. In summer, these lush green spaces are perfect for picnics or relaxing outdoor moments.

History Brought to Life

From François I to Napoleon III, including Henri IV and Louis XIV, countless monarchs left their mark on the Château de Fontainebleau. A place of power, daily life, and artistic creation, the château is a privileged witness to the unfolding story of France.
