A rare bird flies to Fontainebleau, which is a pity, since the castle deserves no less attention than Versailles. And from many points of view it was more interesting to me than Versailles. Napoleon called it "the house of centuries and kings". The castle existed since 1137, turned into a beautiful palace and served all the royal and imperial dynasties until 1870, when the residence was closed for habitation after the fall of the Second Empire and declared one of the most valuable objects of the historical heritage of France.
