Overview of your Versailles tour:

Less than an hour away from Paris, the castle of Fontainebleau, Francis I and Napoleon's favorite, will surprise you with its elegance. Built as early as the 12th century, Fontainebleau was the home of many French monarchs. Henri II and his mistress Diane de Poitiers… Francis I… Henri IV… Even Louis XIII, the father of the Sun King, was born there. It was largely refurbished in the Renaissance by Francis I (16th century) and has a deeply beautiful charm with sumptuous tapestries, woodwork, and idyllic gardens. A wing of the castle is now dedicated to a a museum on Napoleon I, who established his main residence at Fontainebleau: you will be able to see his throne room at Fontainebleau, and the cabinet where he signed his abdication. From ballroom to powder rooms, you will have time to discover all the hidden secrets of Fontainebleau, a town that is particularly close to my heart.

Your Versailles tour itinerary

This is a private tour. We will meet at the Gare de Lyon train station for a very easy ride (I can help you purchase your ticket at the station). If you prefer a private ride, I can arrange it - just contact me about it. I will tell you anecdotes about the kings who played an important role in the history of the castle while keeping the conversation fun and interactive. Among the highlights of the day, there will be: - The Napoleon Museum - The Royal Chapel - The Ballroom (worthy of the Beauty and the Beast) - The bedroom of Anne of Austria - The powder room of Louis XV's daughters - Marie-Antoinette's powder room - The Throne Room of Napoleon - The cabinet of Napoleon's abdication - Diana's Garden - The great Carp Pond (where you can rent a rowboat on sunny days) - A nice walk in the town, which has a beautiful church, a 16th-century church, cute traditional shops (fromageries, pâtisseries, etc).
