Your Private Fontainebleau Experience from Paris
The Château de Fontainebleau, a UNESCO World Heritage site just 55 kilometers south of Paris, served as a royal residence for over 800 years. From medieval kings to Napoleon Bonaparte, this palace witnessed more French history than any other. And unlike Versailles, you can explore it without the crushing crowds.
Why Choose Fontainebleau Over Versailles?
While Versailles dazzles with baroque grandeur, Fontainebleau offers something different: intimate Renaissance rooms, Napoleon's private apartments, and a serene atmosphere. The surrounding forest—25,000 hectares of ancient woodland—adds a natural dimension no other royal residence can match.
What to See at Fontainebleau
- Napoleon's Apartments – Where the Emperor signed his abdication
- The Throne Room – The only intact throne room in France
- The Gallery of Francis I – Renaissance masterpiece
- The English Garden – Romantic landscaped grounds
- The Forest – Famous rock formations and hiking trails
The Perfect Day Trip Combo
Our most popular itinerary: visit the château in the morning when it opens, have lunch in the charming town, then enjoy a scenic drive through the forest with stops at the famous rock formations. Your driver knows the best viewpoints and hidden spots.
