A tour of the Palace of Fontainebleau

The Palace of Fontainebleau represents 900 years of French history. The luxurious apartments of kings and emperors from Francis I to Napoleon I. Napoleon's throne room and his personal belongings, the Renaissance-style gallery of Francis I. The ballroom and the Chapel of the Holy Trinity. Gardens and parks. Here, French kings lived, and decisions were made that changed the history of the country and Europe. And here you can experience not a fairytale version of monarchy, but real royal life—with its scale, taste, and sense of power.

I'll pick you up in Paris in a comfortable, luxury Mercedes Class V minivan. The drive to Fontainebleau takes approximately 1 to 1.5 hours. We'll begin by visiting the halls, at a leisurely pace. Then we'll visit the parks.
