About
Fontainebleau
A name that is famous in the entire world,
a magical name that evokes for some a forest, for others a chateau… a name
which still shines from its royal history. For Fontainebleau, though it no longer
welcomes sovereigns as it did for so long, remains a place where life is
pleasant, a place where the expression “quality of life” takes on its full
meaning.
Very close to Paris, the
Fontainebleau forest welcomes 13 million visitors each year.
Despite this considerable number, hikers, rock-climbing or mountain-biking
enthusiasts, horse riders, cyclists and Sunday walkers come here for its wild
landscapes. Fontainebleau was the royal hunting residence before the first
lights of the Renaissance shone here under François 1st, in the heart of the
Palace which all sovereigns, right up to Napoleon III, cherished, decorated and
embellished through the work of their best artists, painters, sculptors,
architects, fountainers
and gardeners.
At the heart of these landscapes a city was
born where side by side lived the Royal Court, His Majesty’s suppliers, the
cooks for His table, and the cavalry responsible for His security and hunts.
It was among these landscapes too that, last century, the great Parisian
bourgeoisie came for country stays by the forest on the shores of the Seine and
the Loing, whilst young painters settled into the neighbouring
villages. They had left the capital and the studios of the official school to
come and paint in the midst of nature, with their easels among trees and rocks,
facing the plain of Briere’s landscapes. And in the evening, they would return
to Barbizon at father Ganne’s, to Bourron Marlotte or Moret-sur-Loing.
The pictorial adventure of Barbizon and of
the first impressionists such as Corot and Sisley were to open the road to a
long line of artists, musicians and writers throughout the century, from Alfred
de Musset to Cocteau, from Picasso to Cezanne or from Rosa Bonheur to Lalanne…
