🎧  Listen to Introduction

Fontainebleau is a medieval royal hunting lodge located in the heart of a vast forest in the Ile-de-France. It has been used by French kings since the 12th century. In the 16th century, Francis I remodeled, expanded and decorated it. He wanted to make it a "New Rome". This Italian-style palace is surrounded by a huge park and combines the artistic traditions of the Renaissance and France.
