TOUR OF FONTAINEBLEAU CASTLE

Fontainebleau Castle is located in the south-east of Paris. Testimony of the French History since the Middle Ages, Fontainebleau Castle was one of the favorite French kings' residences (from François 1er to Napoléon III). Most of them took part in the history and the building of the castle. Surrounded by a wonderful garden, the castle is marked by a great cultural heritage.
