エイボンの湖・トップ5

"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.

passage through the park possible by bicycle

At the Château de Fontainebleau, the Cascades basin serves as a visual transition between the different levels of the French garden. An essential element during your stroll in the park.

Sshhht silence and watch

What immediately catches the eye are the water lilies which partly cover this 20 m diameter pond. In March, toads and frogs meet up to lay eggs. The name of this pond comes from the fact that a man named Piat, general forest guard, would have had trouble with people who had to complain about his severity in the service and who would have thrown him into the pond. This forced bath was not fatal to him, since he died at the age of 81, on August 26, 1805, leaving a large family.

We no longer present it!

It is worth walking around in the park and around the castle (UNESCO World Heritage!).
