Château de Fontainebleau
Blending Renaissance and Classical design, Fontainebleau Castle sits near the town center, some sixty kilometers southeast of Paris. The site's earliest fortifications date to the twelfth century, with major construction and renovations extending into the nineteenth. A cornerstone of French history, Fontainebleau has housed French sovereigns from Francis I—who made it his preferred residence—through Napoleon III.
