The museum of all superlatives … Imagine fifteen kilometers of rooms and corridors, 300,000 works of art (including some of the most famous paintings and sculptures in the world), 10,000 years of art history … The building itself is worth a visit, with its old castle walls, gilded royal galleries, lavish 19th century reception areas and – of course – the glass pyramid. This museum is one of a kind, not to be missed
This is the true residence of the kings, declared a proud Napoleon who lived here for several years. He was right. Versailles served as a royal palace for just over a century, whereas Fontainebleau already had a lifespan of almost a 1,000 years. First as a castle, then as a Renaissance palace, and finally as an imperial residence. The richly decorated halls and galleries are stunningly beautiful. But don’t forget to visit the wonderful garden.
