Additional Information

Fontainebleau is a distinctive fortress – immensely large, constructed and reconstructed through various epochs, it represents a mosaic of architectural designs and distinctive periods that have deeply influenced the historical lineage of France. Exploring the fortress is akin to journeying through a series of historical capsules, each symbolizing a specific period, tied to a historically prominent person – a majority of French history encapsulated within a single location. Additionally, the forest and the gardens command respect and admiration in their own merit.
