Fontainebleau, France. The Beautiful Fountain of the French Kings
Description
Used by the kings of France from the 12th century, the medieval royal hunting lodge of Fontainebleau, standing at the heart of a vast forest in the Ile-de-France, was transformed, enlarged and embellished in the 16th century by Francis I, who wanted to make a "New Rome" of it. Surrounded by an immense park, the Italianate palace combines Renaissance and French artistic traditions.
