Fontainebleau forest has long been a hunting ground for French kings. The first royal residence built there lacked defenses. Later kings invited Italian masters to construct and decorate the palace. After moving to Versailles, Fontainebleau fell into disrepair but Napoleon restored it to its former splendor. Now over 11 million tourists visit annually to see its unique paintings, sculptures, and antique furniture. The grounds include the English Garden redesigned in the 19th century with an artificial river, and the Queen's Garden enclosed by an orangery built by Henry IV featuring Diana's Fountain. Fontainebleau palace and park were designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1981.

Fontainebleau Chateau
The medieval castle in the site and later chateau was the residence of French monarchs from Louis VII through Napoleon III. It was the traditional residence of the French monarch. It also dated back a long way too, from its beginning of an abbey, to a hunting lodge then to a palace. Unlike Versailles, Fontainebleau is not a vision of one monarch. It is a bewildering of styles from Francois I, who modelled on Florentine and Roman styles. Throughout the visit you will be able to see the changes in French tastes and the changing architectural styles Fontainebleau abiding charm comes from its relative informality and spectacular forest settings.

Versailles, Paris - Chateau

The Palace of Versailles is the most well known example of European Palace. The palace is also a statement of the wealth and power of an absolute monarch. Since then the design of the palace had been copied all over the world.
It was constructed during the reign of Louis XIV, when the power of the absolute French monarch was at its zenith. Louis XIV saw the palace as a setting to propagate his own personality cult. It was here at Versailles, Louis XIV daily theatrical rituals were on show to nobility – routines like the king rises, the king retirement at night, even the queen giving birth to the royal babies are opened to the public eyes.
Today, the French is keen to shake off this symbol of absolute monarchy but to portrait the palace as achievements of French culture, of French taste and as a place where great international diplomacy is conducted. It was here the Treaty of Versailles was sign, putting an end to the First World War.
