#Palace Château de Fontainebleau is a royal palace near Paris. With the Paris Museum Pass, you can visit the Château de Fontainebleau for free without buying a ticket, and basically no reservation is required. It is also one of the largest royal palaces in France. It is located in the town of Fontainebleau and is a palace with a history of more than 800 years. This hunting palace was renovated and expanded by successive kings from Francis I to Louis XVI, eventually becoming the palace we see today. During the French Revolution in 1789, Louis XVI was overthrown. The Palace of Fontainebleau was not destroyed, but all the valuable furniture in the palace was sold. It was not until 1804 that Napoleon proclaimed himself emperor here, bringing the long-silent Palace of Fontainebleau back to life. It was not until the Franco-Prussian War in 1870 that the Second French Empire collapsed and this place was no longer a royal residence. The area around Fontainebleau is a place of beautiful scenery, lush forests and numerous historical sites, including the Royal Palace, which became a national museum in 1927 and was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1981 for its unique architecture and historical importance.

The Palace of Fontainebleau is located in the town of Fontainebleau in the Île-de-France region in northern France, about 60 kilometers from Paris. In 1137, King Louis VII of France ordered the construction of a castle here. Before the construction of the castle, this place was a forest area. The Palace of Fontainebleau is one of the World Heritage Sites registered by UNESCO. This castle was once the residence of Louis VII to Napoleon III. As it has experienced dozens of French monarchs, each with different preferences for architectural design, the Palace of Fontainebleau incorporates a wide variety of architectural styles and designs. A must-see is the horseshoe-shaped castle staircase, which was completed in 1634 and became an architectural benchmark for imitation in various places. Napoleon also delivered his famous farewell speech here. In addition, tens of thousands of works of art are preserved here. #castle #100 Ways to Travel

#100 Ways to Travel Traveling is a joy in life French attractions

I have been to Paris many times, and this trip in 2019 was mainly to take a friend on a tour, but I also added a new destination that I had not visited before—Fontainebleau. After landing at Orly Airport and renting a car, we headed straight for Fontainebleau. Fontainebleau is located 80 kilometers southeast of the city center. Its French name 'Fontainebleau' means 'beautiful fountain'. In 1934, the essayist Zhu Ziqing translated it as 'Fontainebleau' in his 'Notes on Travels in Europe', which is undoubtedly a model of faithful, expressive, and elegant translation. The Palace of Fontainebleau is situated within a forest of 170 square kilometers. With its beautiful scenery, pleasant climate, and clear springs, it's no wonder that Louis VI built a castle by the spring in the 12th century as a hunting lodge. The glory of Fontainebleau, however, is attributed to the French King Francis I of the 16th century, who undertook a massive expansion of the palace. A large number of Italian artists and designers were involved, ingeniously blending the Renaissance style with traditional French art, making Fontainebleau one of the masterpieces of French classical architecture. The architectural complex of Fontainebleau, consisting of the castle, palace, courtyards, and gardens, was listed as a World Cultural Heritage site in 1981. Fontainebleau Palace also witnessed the history of France; Napoleon once imprisoned the Pope here, and later, dramatically, he was forced to abdicate at this location. Today, it has become a famous museum. In addition to its rich collections and architectural treasures, the gardens of the Fontainebleau Castle are also worth a leisurely stroll, with lush pines and cypresses and winding paths. The Fontainebleau Forest, once used for royal hunting, saw the birth of the famous 'Barbizon School of Painting', and today it is a favorite weekend getaway for Parisians. Public transportation: You can take the train from Gare de Lyon towards Montargis Sens or Montereau, get off at Fontainebleau - Avon, then transfer to Veolia BUS line 1 towards les lilas, and get off at Chateau; a one-way ticket costs 8.75 euros, and the Paris public transport weekly pass can be used. Opening hours: April to September 9:30-18:00 (entry stops at 17:15); October to March 9:30-17:00 (entry stops at 16:15); closed on Tuesdays, January 1, May 1, and December 25; the ballroom closes at 16:00 from October to March and at 17:00 from April to September; the Chinese Museum and the Pope's Suite are closed from 11:30 to 14:30 (except weekends and school holidays) Ticket price: The full price for the main exhibition area is 14 euros, but visiting the gardens is free.

Fontainebleau is one of the largest palaces in France, and it is also a great destination for hiking. There are several well-established trails for forest trekking, ranging from one-hour round trips to five and two hours. The forest is vast and quite pristine, so it's best to go with a companion and plan your trip in advance. Walking through the forests of Fontainebleau, you get up close and personal with nature, feeling like you're in a huge natural oxygen bar. However, it's still very hot in the summer, so be sure to protect yourself from the sun and stay hydrated. Also, the ground here is sandy and gravelly, so watch out for little stones hopping into your shoes.

The name 'Fontainebleau' unconsciously leads one into endless beautiful reveries. In the sea of thoughts, there are swaying tree shadows, the thin dew of a clear autumn, the transition of seasons, and the eternity of time... Although the Palace of Fontainebleau may not be as grand as the Palace of Versailles, nor as vast as the Louvre, it possesses an elegant simplicity, offering a tranquil and cozy feeling. Traces of architectural styles from various periods since the Renaissance have left their marks here, making it one of the masterpieces of French classical architecture.

The Fontainebleau Forest in France, this mysterious oasis located in the heart of France, is a paradise for nature lovers and artists, and one of the most beautiful forests in France. Here grow oaks, beeches, birches and other conifers, forming a magnificent picture. Especially in autumn, the leaves gradually change color, red and white alternating, forming a unique "Fontainebleau" tone, as if it is the palette of nature. Walking on the forest path, you can feel the tranquility and beauty of nature, as if you are in a natural oil painting. In the early 1930s, it became an informal artist's residence, and later developed into a famous "Barbizon School" for art movements. In the mid-19th century, Fontainebleau became a pilgrimage site for young artists with artistic aspirations. These artists find inspiration here and create many amazing works. If you are interested in art, why not come here to feel the magic of nature and the creation of artists. Fontainebleau Forest is an excellent choice for hiking. You can stroll along the forest path, enjoy the scenery along the way, and feel the charm of nature. If you are interested in photography, don't miss the Fontainebleau Forest. The beautiful scenery here, whether it is sunrise or sunset, can provide you with rich shooting materials. Why not bring your camera and record the beautiful moments here.

#paristrip Step into the opulent Imperial Apartments once occupied by Napoleon I. Lavishly decorated with intricate furnishings and gilded accents, these rooms offer a glimpse into the emperor's life. The Throne Room, with its crimson and gold decor, echoes the grandeur of Napoleon's reign, while the intimate boudoirs provide a more personal perspective. Beyond the château's walls lies the vast Forest of Fontainebleau, a serene expanse that served as a royal hunting ground.

Fontainebleau, Mr. Zhu Ziqing’s translation is really yyds. Although the transportation is time-consuming, it is worth it to enjoy the world-class palace without having to crowd around. The interior of the palace is extremely luxurious, with various Renaissance, Baroque, and Rococo styles, so beautiful that it makes people lost. 🤩😎The day I went there was a weekday, so many teachers brought their students to visit, stopping from time to time to explain. It turns out that art should be taught from an early age. After the palace, the back garden is not to be missed. Although the weather was not as expected, the cloudy day with a little sunshine and the swan neck 🦢 is absolutely amazing ​
