The Fontainebleau is probably more significant for historical context than for content as compared to other royal sites in France. The direct comparison to Versailles is probably not fair, but inevitable. The garden is bare, the rooms are fewer than less lavish. But if you are a big fan of Napoleon!
Get a unique insight into life at the French court visiting the Château de Fontainebleau! With over 1500 rooms at the heart of 130 acres of parkland and gardens, the Château de Fontainebleau is the only royal and imperial château to have been continuously inhabited from middle Ages to Napoleon III. This visit to Fontainebleau will open you up an unparalleled view of French history, art history and architecture.
You'll see the Renaissance masterpieces commissioned by Francis I, the great building works of Henry IV, Marie Antoinette's exquisite interiors, the splendours of Napoleon I's rule, and the unique style of Napoleon III and Eugenie.
