Very easy to use the tickets - I scanned the barcode at the barrier then we passed my phone between us so that each of us could scan our tickets. The chateau was spectacular from the opulent bedrooms to the little area where they set out what Napoleon's on-tour accommodation would have looked like. The cafe and toilets were clean but basic - the cafe tables were outside. We saw lots of couples having wedding photos taken which was cute. The grounds were beautiful.

The man at the security checkpoint was very friendly and with a continuous smile. The gentleman delivering the visual guide was also very friendly. The rooms that could be visited were beautiful and impeccable. Good experience in general.

History, architecture & nature

Nestled within 130 hectares of charming parks and gardens, Château de Fontainebleau has been recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1981. The magnificent furnishings in the sovereign rooms, created for Napoleon III's Court, will astound you. See the throne of Napoleon, the bed of Marie Antoinette, and the 1807 picture of Empress Josephine in her coronation regalia by François Gérard. Explore the galleries where the court used to meet, as well as 3 opulent chapels and 4 museums of art.

After the revolt in 1814, Napoleon renovated the Château himself, referring to it in his memoirs as 'the true home of Kings.' It was here that Louis XIII had a joyful boyhood, learning to hunt, play tennis, and sketch. Château de Fontainebleau, with more than 1500 rooms and 130 acres of parkland, was and remains a breathtaking labyrinth of French beauty, culture, and architecture.
