Today we took the train from Paris to Avon/Fontainbleau to see the Palace of Fontainebleau one of the largest in France built from the 16th century. It is only about 35 miles from Paris. There is a large forest surrounding Fontainbleau a former royal hunting lodge. Napoleon Bonaparte transformed it into a symbol of his grandeur and helped make it what it is today.
We used the self guided audio tour for one part of the chateau and it took about 2 hours. The rooms are beautiful. We are now excited to visit Versailles as it is supposed to be even and bigger and more spectacular.
