"Built by King Louis IX in 998 as a simple hunting lodge in the heart of the "Ile de France," Fontainebleau soon fell into obscurity. It wasn't until Francis I discovered his love for Fontainebleau and elevated it to a royal residence that the palace's true history began, as the ancestral home of the French kings. Henry IV had the complex expanded, and under Napoleon I, the building was extensively restored as the first imperial residence." With these words, a text on the media library's website introduces a 15-minute film (in German) about the UNESCO World Heritage Site.

A classic: bicycles are tolerated there so let's not do just anything!

Castle closed to the public, but it is bordered by a shared road limited to 30 km/h which is very pleasant.

この印象的な十字路の起源は17世紀にまで遡ると言われており、フランス革命中など、その後何度か破壊されましたが、その都度再建されてきました。交差部、つまり十字架の縦梁と横梁の交差点は閉じた円として設計されており、横梁には「Croix de Calvaire」という碑文が刻まれています。この名前は、ゴルゴタ（アラム語で、ラテン語由来のCalvaireと同様に「頭蓋骨の場所」を意味する）でのイエス・キリストの磔刑を記念するカルバリー山を指しています。

Driving through the idyllic French countryside, you’ll come across the magnificent Château du Mesnil-Voysin. This impressive 18th-century château, surrounded by lush gardens and a serene moat, offers a glimpse into the opulent lifestyle of the French aristocracy. You can explore the beautifully preserved interior, admire the intricate architectural details, and stroll through the peaceful grounds.

At the end of the 12th century, the estate was allegedly owned by a knight Gautier, "lord of Mesnil", and a liege man of King Philippe Auguste. In the 15th century, the property passed into the hands of the Karnazet family, who passed it down through several generations, until 1455, when Jean de Vaillant took over the reins of the estate. The Mesnil chapel was commissioned by Renée Sabathier, wife of Guillaume Hérouard, secretary of the King's chamber, in 1611. She was buried there in 1616.
