History of Fontainebleau

The history of Fontainebleau is closely related to the castle one of the same name. Indeed the city served as a place of French royal residence where the many sovereigns, Louis VI the Gros (reigning between 1108 and 1137) to Napoleon (1852-1878), remained there. The city is also an imprint of the different phases of the history of France. Fontainebleau was a hamlet covered with forest where Louis VII set up a hunting meeting and a chapel. Its original name is Fontaine Belle Eau. A medieval style castle was already built there at the time (first half of the year 1100) but it is Louis IX, said Saint Louis, which enlarges the castle during its reign. Philip the Fair, recognized for the power he brought to the kingdom of France during his reign, was born and died at Fontainebleau (1268-1314). Philip VI passes there regularly while John the Good lived there. Charles V, Charles VI and Charles VII (after the Hundred Years War) regularly passed there. The place remained however a hamlet little developed before the advent of François Premier who decided to build there a palace whose architecture and the decoration are of Italian inspiration. Then the city acquires the notoriety and begins to emancipate itself of guardianship of Avon, the neighboring town. The inns and restaurants flourished next to the mansions built by princes and nobles. Fontainebleau and its castle did not suffer much from the Revolution. Napoleon Premier decides to live in the castle and begins its renovation and the redevelopment of old mansions. On October 29, 1807, Fontainebleau was the place of the signature between Napoleon and the Chancellor of the Spanish king Charles IV of the treaty which authorizes the crossing of the French troops on the Spanish territory to invade Portugal. The fall of the empire after the abdication of Napoleon marked the end of the radiation of the city. Fontainebleau today is both a modern and bucolic, the forest and the castle are for something. Asking for a car service is an option available to you if you want to go around the city.
