Overview

  • Leave Paris behind for a few hours on a private half-day excursion and discover one of France’s most beautiful royal residences, along with the village that inspired generations of painters. Travel enjoying a relaxed and flexible experience tailored just for you.

    To add a refined French touch, the tour includes one glass of Champagne per person.
    At Fontainebleau Castle, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and favorite residence of French kings from François I to Napoleon III, enjoy the lavishly decorated apartments, grand galleries, and magnificent chapels at your own pace. Afterwards, take time to stroll through the formal gardens and wooded park surrounding the château.

    On the way back to Paris, your route takes you through Barbizon, a charming artists’ village on the edge of the forest where 19th-century painters such as Corot and Millet came to capture light and nature.

Enjoy views of the countryside and the historic royal hunting forest as your guide introduces the history of Fontainebleau and explains why so many French rulers chose to live there.

Fontainebleau

Skip the ticket line and begin your self-paced audio-guided visit. Discover more than eight centuries of royal history as you explore the François I Gallery, royal apartments, Napoleon I’s throne room, and the richly decorated rooms of Napoleon III. Afterwards, enjoy free time in the French-style parterres and the vast park.

Barbizon

On the return journey, pass through Barbizon, a peaceful village at the forest’s edge. From the vehicle, learn how this small hamlet became one of the birthplaces of Impressionism.
