Overview

Leave Paris behind for a few hours and discover one of France’s most beautiful royal residences and the village that inspired generations of painters. Travel in a comfortable, air-conditioned minivan with a small group (maximum 8 participants) and an experienced driver-guide.
At Fontainebleau Castle, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and favourite residence of the French kings from François I to Napoléon III, enjoy an audio-guided visit that lets you explore the lavishly decorated apartments, grand galleries and magnificent chapels at your own pace. Afterwards, stroll through the formal gardens and wooded park that surround the château.
On the way back to Paris, your route takes you through Barbizon, a charming artists’ village on the edge of the forest where 19th-century painters like Corot and Millet came to capture light and nature. This half-day excursion is the perfect mix of royal history, architecture, landscape and art, all within easy reach of central Paris.
