TOUR OF FONTAINEBLEAU CASTLE

Fontainebleau Castle is located in the south-east of Paris. Testimony of the French History since the Middle Ages, Fontainebleau Castle was one of the favorite French kings’ residences (from François 1er to Napoléon III). Most of them took part in the history and the building of the castle. Surrounded by a wonderful garden, the castle is marked by a great cultural heritage. Its architecture and interior decors are a mixture of Italian and French art. Since 1981, the castle belongs to the UNESCO world heritage. Nowadays, the Fontainebleau Castle is renowned for the beauty of Napoleon III apartments and its small theater recently restored.

During the audioguided visit of the Castle (with individual visio guides available in English, French, Spanish, Italian), you will discover the architecture of the monument, its wonderful decor and the ancient era furniture. You will also enjoy free time to stroll through the gardens.

BARBIZON VILLAGE

On the way back to Paris, we will pass through the charming hamlet of Barbizon, one of the cradles of Impressionism and a favorite place of many painters, such as Corot, Millet, and Rosa Bonheur. A brief photo stop may be offered so you can keep a memory of this delightful village.
