Excursion to Fontainebleau Castle & Barbizon

YOU WILL ENJOY...

Discover the Fontainebleau Castle in half a day! During our trip, you will be charmed by the Fontainebleau Castle, favorite residence of the French Kings, and by the beautiful village of Barbizon, impressionist small village from the early 19th century.

TOUR OF FONTAINEBLEAU CASTLE

Fontainebleau Castle is located in the south-east of Paris. Testimony of the French History since the Middle Ages, Fontainebleau Castle was one of the favorite French kings' residences (from François 1er to Napoléon III). Most of them took part in the history and the building of the castle. Surrounded by a wonderful garden, the castle is marked by a great cultural heritage. Its architecture and interior decors are a mixture of Italian and French art. Since 1981, the castle belongs to the UNESCO world heritage. Nowadays, the Fontainebleau Castle is renowned for the beauty of Napoleon III apartments and its small theater recently restored.

During the audioguided visit of the Castle (with individual visio guides available in English, French, Spanish, Italian), you will discover the architecture of the monument, its wonderful decor and the ancient era furniture. You will also enjoy free time to stroll through the gardens.

BARBIZON VILLAGE

On the way back to Paris, we will pass through the charming hamlet of Barbizon, one of the cradles of Impressionism and a favorite place of many painters, such as Corot, Millet, and Rosa Bonheur. A brief photo stop may be offered so you can keep a memory of this delightful village.

Customer reviews:

« We had a small group of four, three Americans and one Frenchwoman, and a wonderful driver, Edoardo, and our shared experience made it worthwhile and a lot of fun. Wish we had had more time at the palace, and also at Barbizon, but we did make it to both of these sites, learned a lot, enjoyed the companionship, and all had a good time. » - pietsi

« Great tour. Our tour-guide Felipe was friendly, knowledgable, and went above and beyond to make our trip comfortable. » - GetYourGuide traveller

« Trip to the castle was easy and seamless! Our driver shared some history of Fontainebleau before our visit and afterward on our trip back through the old artist village. The audio guide wasn't the best but it helped guide us through the lavish apartments in the castle—absolutely over the top and amazingly well preserved! Half day timing allowed us about 2 hours at the castle which I found perfect. » - Lizabeth

« Simply put, excellent. Serge was an awesome guide and host. Kept us informed along the entire trip. Was clear and concise with all instructions. It was a small group and we were all really able to enjoy the entire trip. » - Russell

« JB was a fantastic guide. He was so knowledgeable and happy to answer any questions we had. He even explained lots of things about Paris as we drove in and out of the city, which was unexpected and really insightful. It was a very busy day at Fontainebleau with lots of big groups and school children but JB had no control over that. » - Marie

« Tour was excellent! Our tour guide Serge was attentive, friendly and extremely knowledgeable. We enjoyed the trip immensely and extras such as bottles of water was an added bonus. Short trip through Barbizon was interesting but as it was half day trip all that there was time for. Fontainebleu is beautiful and well worth a visit. Not crowded and easy to walk round, although in fairness if you can afford the time, perhaps a whole day trip would be better as so many rooms to see and gardens are also beautiful. » - Alison

« Guide was good, knowledgeble and friendly Good pace. Nice historical notes and the drive through Brabazon. » - Brian

« Fontainebleau was the most enjoyable surprise. The place is a real jewel. It is very different from Versailles: while Versailles, magnificent as it is, is cold and alienating, Fontainebleau is warm and cozy. The Renaissance architecture abs design at ts best. » - margali

« This was a great way to see the castle. Fountainebleau is a grandiose castle and a must visit destination. I found the Barbizon art village interesting. It was at the edge of the Fountainebleau forest. The journey was very scenic. » - Carolin

« Fontainebleau and the picturesque village of Barbizon were amazing. Our guide, Loic, was excellent and made the trip a wonderful and pleasant experience. We had sufficient time to do the self guided Fontainebleau tour, as not as touristy and crowded as other... » - martins

« Great tour to picturesque Fontainebleau estate and Barbizon. We appreciated being with a smaller group and our guide was informative and entertaining on the ride to/from the estate. » - mejamr

« The trip was very good and well organized. Michael was very helpful. The trip is good if you wish to visit the chateau and the gardens within short time. If you need to spend more time, a day long trip is recommended. Overall a good experience. » - Manasi

« Antonio did a great job. We really enjoyed it he was great. There were no audio guides but Antonio was great!!! Mmmmmmmmmm » - temebr

« Beautiful château. We loved it. The furniture, the paintings, the landscape with the lake. Everything was absolutely lovely. » - Adriana

« Fountainbleu is like a slightly smaller Versailles without any of the crowds. Full van but comfortable with a helpful multilingual guide to help everyone. Didn’t know what to expect with the small town of Barbizon but I loved it. Complete opposite of Fountainbleu but equally interesting » - Chris_B
