Palaces, Château de Fontainebleau, France.

Another very quick trip to Fontainebleau Palace. It was an open day so you could access the Palace and grounds for free, a bit like Heritage Open Days in the UK. It truly is stunning and as I only had an hour and a bit I spent most of it in the galleries. There is just too much to talk about so go HERE to read everything about it.

‘Fontainebleau became the stage for the fall of the First Empire in April 1814. Napoleon I abdicated at the Château on April 4th and 6th, and after a famous farewell speech to his old guard in the Main Courtyard, left for exile on Elba.’ SOURCE.

You can see the courtyard and the steps below.
