The Château de Fontainebleau: helicopter experience

Introduction to the Château de Fontainebleau

The home of the Kings of France, between sky and history

Just a 30-minute flight from the capital, embark on an exceptional day trip to the Château de Fontainebleau, a jewel of France’s heritage and favorite residence of famous sovereigns from François I to Napoleon I. From our VIP terminal at the Paris heliport, you fly over the metropolis and its major landmarks – the Eiffel Tower, La Défense, the Stade de France – before reaching the majestic forest of Fontainebleau, landing directly in the gardens of the UNESCO-listed château. The setting is ideal for an immersion in history: guided tours, discovery of the royal apartments, the François I gallery, the horseshoe staircase and the Napoleon museum. Between the forest, the royal courtyard and the decorated galleries, the day unfolds to the rhythm of a living heritage.plan fontainbleau

Fontainebleau: a little history

A royal residence from the 12th century onwards, the Château de Fontainebleau became a true stately home under Francis I, who introduced the Renaissance style with Rosso Fiorentino and Primaticcio. Napoleon signed his abdication here in 1814. Fontainebleau has seen 34 kings and 2 emperors: a vivid summary of over eight centuries of French history. Today, its furnished salons, frescoes, gardens and museums make it one of France’s richest and most complete monuments.

  • Can we personalize the day?

    Yes, every experience is tailor-made. We tailor schedules, on-site time, catering or private tours to suit your wishes.

  • What do we see during the flight?

    On the outward journey: over Paris, its monuments and the Seine. On the way back: panoramic views of the Fontainebleau forest, the southern suburbs and the main Parisian roads.

  • How much time should I allow on site?

    On average, 5 to 6 hours for the tour, lunch and a walk in the park. But we can adjust to your pace.
