Impressive progress

A short stop on our way to Vannes.

We were for a rock festival in Rennes,but on our free time we visited Nantes , Saint Nazaire and Vannes. I was expecting to be more fascinated by this rather small town, but i have to be honest that it was disappointing, outside some places that catch my curiosity and they're featured on my pictures. #saintnazaire #france #france_vacations #paysduloire

Fontainebleau Palace

Château de Fontainebleau: A Piece of French History You Can Walk Through If you ask a French person to name a château that really tells the story of France, chances are they’ll say Fontainebleau. Sure, Versailles gets all the fame, but Fontainebleau? That’s where our history lived. It’s a place that feels more real—less like a museum and more like a window into eight centuries of French life. A Home for Kings, Emperors… and Artists Fontainebleau isn’t just another royal residence. It’s the only château in France that was lived in by almost every king or emperor from the Middle Ages to Napoleon III. Imagine that—so many different rulers, styles, and decisions, all in one place. François I, one of our Renaissance kings, really kicked things off in the 1500s. He brought in Italian artists and turned Fontainebleau into a proper palace, full of art and beauty. He’s also the one who made that famous Galerie François I, full of gorgeous frescoes and carvings. It’s basically where the French Renaissance got its groove. Later on, Napoleon loved Fontainebleau too. In fact, it’s where he said goodbye to his soldiers in 1814, right on the grand staircase that still gives people goosebumps today. A Mix of Styles, But All French What’s cool about Fontainebleau is that it doesn’t stick to one style. It’s a mix—Renaissance here, Baroque there, with a bit of Napoleon’s Empire style thrown in. But somehow, it all works together. It feels like a reflection of France itself: complex, layered, elegant. And let’s not forget the gardens. Designed by the best of the best (including André Le Nôtre, who also did Versailles), they’re peaceful, grand, and full of little surprises. Why It Matters to Us For us French, Fontainebleau is more than just a historical building. It’s personal. It’s where major moments in our history happened—not just the fancy stuff, but also the human side of power: love stories, political drama, artistic dreams, even defeat. Walking through Fontainebleau isn’t like flipping through a history book. It’s like being in the story. And that’s something we’re really proud of. So if you’re ever in France and want to understand a bit more about what shaped our country—not just the kings and wars, but the art, the style, the soul—Fontainebleau is the place to go.#france #castle
