Originally called "Fontaine Belle Eau", Fontainebleau settled on current name in 1169.
The Palace, expanded from a country house and created by "Francois 1er" (1494–1547), has hosted many kings of France and Napoleon Bonaparte, the Emperor of French, who abdicated on the 18th of April 1814, in the famous "Courtyard of Goodbyes".
We went there to visit my cousins, Alex and Felix, and took advantage to walk around and enjoy the beautiful architecture of the City. At night, after a really nice dinner at Felix's, we went to a Street Art Gallery, "Galerie 17 .Arts" (facebook Link), which was pretty interesting! New expositions quiet often, with good guides and explanations, it's always interesting to discover something new... swing by if you are around!
