From Imperial Palaces to the Birth of Modern Art
This full-day private tour combines the splendour of Château de Fontainebleau, residence of French monarchs and emperors for more than 800 years, with the charm of Barbizon, the legendary village where 19th-century painters created the Barbizon School and laid the foundations for Impressionism.
Walk through lavish Renaissance galleries and Napoleon’s Throne Room, then trade royal grandeur for rustic beauty as you wander Barbizon’s cobbled streets, artists’ ateliers, and the forest paths that inspired Jean-François Millet and Théodore Rousseau.
This tour blends history, art, and nature, offering a day of discovery just beyond Paris.
