Spectacular Chateau de Fontainebleau!
Chateau de Fontainebleau – in 1527 Francois Ier enlarged the castle stronghold to make it a work of French art. The surrounding forest, now a beautiful park, once teemed with wild game and served as a hunting ground to royalty. Today, the museum and garden illustrate the development of garden art over 300 years.
The site is open daily, both chateau and gardens with some seasonal change in hours. www.musee-chateau-fontainebleau.fr
