Fontainebleau, France: Royal Château - Rick Steves’ Europe Travel Guide - Travel Bite

It seems every king, queen, and emperor since has loved this palace - Louis XIII was born here, Louis XV was married here - but Fontainebleau has more Napoleon Bonaparte connections than any other palace.

My favorite french palace. So many to see in it. And little tourists go there unlike in Versailles; so its very nice to spend time in it.

With over 1500 rooms at the heart of 130 acres of parkland and gardens, Fontainebleau is the only royal and imperial château to have been continuously inhabited for seven centuries. 34 kings, 2 emperors, 800 years of history...A visit to Fontainebleau opens up an unparalleled view of French history, art history and architecture.

Wonder Palace, Magnifique!

[@dennisbranham5153]

Wow that's a freaking Castle cool 😎👍

[@VictrolaJazz]

When would modern acouterments such as electricity, indoor plumbing and heating systems have been added to an ancient structure such as this? Was it fitted with gas lights in the 19th century? How difficult would it have been to plumb it?

Meet the new boss Same as the old boss

[@lilMissF0F0]

This is a random comment but after chopping off the Bourbons heads, Napoleon played royalty as if it was a birth right, and to claim it he married a royalty. And thats another royal family the revolutionaries had to put up with (funny). However this palace is gorgeous!

[@xenotypos]

Napoleon's regime was kind of in-between the old royal regime and the republic: stability and central power from the old regime, and meritocracy, modern constitution and many reforms from the revolutionary ideas. It wasn't really a second old regime, even if it's true that Napoleon became power hungry toward the end of his reign.

Napoleon was not mégalo he was forced to be !

[@lizaluk]

Like justified distribution of wealth analysis, distribution of human females to get perfect attention to have an autocorrect substance.

[@goodgirlkay]

I cannot stand the mispronunciations of French words. It is one of my pet peeves. Is it so hard to learn to pronounce foreign words before you do a video like this?

[@MsNetwizard]

Please don't wear jeans. You're not at Home Depot. Ruins the whole ambience. No need to "dumb it down" for viewers. And please check your pronunciation. Not that hard... Otherwise, nice video.
