I first visited the Chateau de Fontainebleau 10 years ago as a friend of mine was living and studying in the town. It’s a perfect day trip from Paris and seeing as my parents and F had never been before I figured it was worth a second visit.

As with most chateaux in France, the Chateau de Fontainebleau is spectacular and the gardens are beautiful. I think the gardens are usually free to visit and you can go inside the chateau for a small fee. However, on the first Sunday of the month, entry is free (as with most museums in France), making it the perfect time to visit.
