Fontainebleau, visit the imperial city

Fontainebleau is an ideal destination for lovers of nature, culture and history. This imperial city, inseparable from its castle and forest, offers a rich and varied experience. With 8 centuries of history and 34 sovereigns having stayed within its walls, it remains the most furnished castle in Europe, housing more than 1,500 rooms. The gardens and parks of the castle are also must-sees, offering panoramic views and peaceful walks.
The Forest of Fontainebleau, recognized as a World Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO, extends over 22,000 hectares. It is a world-renowned site for bouldering.
The surrounding villages, such as Barbizon and Bourron-Marlotte, are cradles of Impressionism and offer an immersion in the world of the painters of the Barbizon School. The town of Fontainebleau itself is alive with international festivals, cultural events and equestrian activities, notably at the Grand Parquet and the Hippodrome de la Solle.
