One of the best things about Paris is the day trips outside of the City! For just a train ride between 1-2 hours, you arrive in this new world. This past weekend, a friend and I ventured out to the city of Fontainebleau, home of the amazing Fontainebleau Chateau. The pictures speak for themselves, showing the grandeur and beauty of this castle.

Fontainebleau was essentially the summer home of royalty in France leaving Paris to the gorgeous gardens, fountains, and forest which surrounds the chateau. We saw remakes of rooms which used to belong to Napoleon, Marie Antoinette, and many of the line of the “Louis” kings who reigned over France. Louis XVI (the Sun King) was not represented, for he instead built his own chateau Versailles, taking all of France’s money to do so.

That’s enough words, for the photos simply speak for themselves
