      Note the view of the famous horseshoe staircase of the Château de Fontainebleau. Designed for its ritual and symbolic function, the staircase served mainly as a backdrop to welcome the princesses who came to the castle to marry a Son of France. It was in 1814 that it became the emblem of Fontainebleau, with the famous farewell of Napoleon I to his guard. Since then, the staircase gathers the whole history of the castle around it. It is the ancestor of the steps of the Cannes Film Festival, in a way.
      Consumed by the patina of time, it has benefited from a restoration, now complete, which has given it back all its brilliance.
