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

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.
