What do you think of the Fontainebleau castle?

Fontainebleau, the true home of the Kings

The Château de Fontainebleau was one of the favorite places of residence of French kings and emperors. For eight centuries, each king and emperor has shaped it to his own taste and left his mark. Today, the faces of the immense palace are as numerous as the sovereigns who have lived there.

Dolmabahçe Palace was built by Sultan Abdülmecid in 1856.

The Château de Fontainebleau is a magnificent building.

[Julie4]

The Dolmabahçe Palace is beautiful too, thanks for sharing 🙂

Yes, Fontainebleau is a very old building that has seen 8 centuries of French history pass by

To be honest, I'm no really a fan of this kind of architecture, but the gardens are pretty nice. I MIGHT visit. I can only imagine how it looks inside.

I'd be more interested in visiting if it was the only such building in the country, but there are plenty buildings in France that look like this

[Julie4]

But no other has been the home of Kings and Emperors of France, when you observe this castle more than 8 centuries of history contemplates you

[KostasKouvalis]

That's a unique quality :p

A great place, visited a few times since one of my younger brothers has been studying in Fontainebleau and I could stay weekends at his place.
You need to read a few books about the history of the castle otherwise you can not enjoy the visit.

Thank you for that Julie4. A long lineage indeed and very impressive.

It just looks like an office building without a parking lot.

France is very nice very beautiful country for sure I’ve been there. Besides Miami, Florida where else in the world is better than that?

[RyanEC]

I actually never heard of this castle.
I guess it is overshadowed by Versailles.

[Julie4]

Yes, Versailles stole thunder in a way, but I also find it magnificent. Napoleon called it the house of centuries...

[RyanEC]

Did Napoleon live there?

[Julie4]

Yeah

[-Mad-]

When I invade france, I’m taking this palace plus the women

[Luopio27]

I hate royal families. Presidents earn their reign, monarchs just inherit their power.

[Guanfei]

"Presidents earn their reign"
Are you high?

[Luopio27]

They need to talk alota shit to get to thst position.

[SnowedIn]
