Service Description
Step off the beaten path and into the heart of French history with a day tour to Château de Fontainebleau, a palace that once rivaled Versailles in splendor and prestige. Nestled in a serene forest just outside Paris, Fontainebleau is a masterpiece of architecture, art, and royal legacy — yet still one of France’s best-kept secrets. Travel in comfort from Paris and arrive at a place where kings, emperors, and artists left their mark. With origins dating back to the 12th century, Fontainebleau was home to 34 sovereigns, from the Capetian dynasty to Napoleon Bonaparte, who famously called it “the true home of kings.” With your Russian-speaking guide, explore the palace’s grand galleries, royal apartments, and the legendary Throne Room — the only one of its kind still intact in France. Discover the Renaissance halls of François I, the ornate interiors of the Bourbons, and the imperial splendor of Napoleon, whose presence still echoes in every corner. Outside, stroll through the immense gardens and peaceful courtyards, where fountains, sculptures, and landscaped views reflect centuries of changing tastes and power. Your audio guide system ensures you won’t miss a single detail, even as you wander and take photos freely. Enjoy free time to relax in the park or grab lunch in the charming town of Fontainebleau, a favorite getaway for Parisians seeking beauty and calm. Return to Paris in the late afternoon, carrying with you the stories of monarchs, revolutionaries, and the timeless magic of a palace where history truly lives.
