This a must visit place. Chateau Fontainebleau was the residence of many French kings and queens prior to the French revolution and was also the residence of Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte. Marie Antoinette also resided here, and she was famous for saying "Let them have cake then" when she was told that there was no more bread to feed the poor.
Fontainbleau is 55km from Paris, so easy to get to. The pictures do not do the place justice. You just have to visit it to appreciate the grandeur of the place. The palace grounds were also massive, and it was next to the Fontainbleau forest, a favourite hunting place of the royals.
