Update: Fontainebleau

July 26th, 2007

Napolean's throne at Fontainebleau

Everyone knows about Versaille. The halls and grounds there are filled with tourists every summer, and school children during the school year. But not that many people visit the other, and older, royal chateau of France - Fontainbleau.

I spent a spring day walking, almost in solitude, the halls of this once home to Napolean and before him the Renaissance King, Francois I.

You can read a little about the history of the chateau (just enough to get you interested) here.

You will also find there a link to many of my photographs I took that day.
