Great place. Calm and peaceful visit.

Wonderful palace and grounds. Simpler and easier to absorb than Versailles and far less crowded. In fact not crowded at all! A bit of a hidden gem relative to Versailles, and less ‘grand’ but there are still some very very impressive rooms and history.

Great alternative to Versailles - and bigger

RyansMom0208, Dec 2024

My family and I decided to visit this palace instead of Versailles to avoid the lines and make it easier ton my arthritic knees. It was beautiful! Definitely worth the drive from Paris. The grounds are extensive, the room descriptions informative, and you were able to take pictures as much as you wanted. Tour guides were available or you could go on your own. A must see!

Wonderful visit to country side

This was perfect way to travel from Paris to the Chateau. Our driver was very pleasant and accommodating. He managed a side trip to Barbizon village.

Holiday Home to Die For

Valerie B, Dec 2024

Just a hop, skip, jump south of Paris is the magnificent Palace of Fontainebleau - a holiday home par excellence.

There’s no doubt that the medieval castle and subsequent palace made a breathtaking summer residence for Napoleon, his two wives - two illegitimate children, two step-children and his legitimate son.

Some rooms speak of masculine power and riches, some have a feminine air and there’s a lovely baby’s cradle on show.

You really need a whole day to appreciate the wealth and splendour lavished upon it.

The ubiquitous audio visual guides are a great help. Most of the information is bi-lingual, but some of the smaller exhibit labels are only in French, though that is only a minor irritation.

Do not, do not miss this quintessential abode of an Emperor. You will be spellbound.
