Fontainebleau is a is a satellite town in the metropolitan area of Paris, France. It is located 55.5 kms south of Paris.
Fontainebleau is called "Capital of the History of France" - it was the royal hunting residence before the first lights of the Renaissance shone here under Francois 1st, in the heart of the Palace which all sovereigns, right up to Napoleon III, cherished, decorated and embellished through the work of their best artists, painters, sculptors, architects, fountainers and gardeners.
At the heart of these landscapes a city was born where side by side lived the Royal Court, His Majesty's suppliers, the cooks for His table, and the cavalry responsible for His security and hunts. |
