We visited Fontainebleau yesterday. The chateau dates back to 1137, according to the book they gave us. Every room is incredible. Each king and queen left his or her own mark on the chateau, as witnessed by the various rooms adorned with F (Francois I) or H (Henri IV).
Several rooms were redecorated by Marie Antoinette. Evidently, Fontainebleau was not ransacked the way Versailles was during the French Revolution. So, here's one of Marie Antoinette's chairs, a small look at an opulent life of beautiful excess.
