    The Château de Fontainebleau, located about 60 kilometers from Paris, is a jewel of French architecture and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Built in the 16th century, it was the favorite residence of many French kings and emperors. You can visit the magnificent state rooms, the richly decorated royal apartments and the formal gardens.

    The castle's extensive gardens and parks provide an ideal setting for joggers, with shaded paths and stunning natural scenery.

    The castle has been classified as a historic monument since 1862 and, with its park, has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1981.
