Opulent castles and scenic forests await in Fontainebleau, a popular weekend getaway just 35 miles south of Paris. The centerpiece of this fabled town is the Palace of Fontainebleau. Once home to French monarchs from Louis VII to Napoleon III, the palace is now a museum offering tours of the fully-restored Imperial Theater, the Francis I Gallery, and in Spring 2015, Marie Antoinette's Turkish Boudoir. On your way out be sure to take a stroll through the Chateau Gardens & Park. Nearby, the Forest of Fontainebleau offers visitors a chance to breathe in deep and experience the sensual world of France's native plants and animals. Show All
