Fontainebleau is a beautiful château located near Paris.  It is a cluster of styles from different periods.  Louis VII built an abbey here that was consecrated by Thomas Beckett in 1169.  A medieval tower survives, but the present château dates to François I.

I’d like to print your photo of Fontainebleu in the next edition of a Brit guide to Disneyland Paris; could you confirm that’s okay and whether the credit should be ‘Connie Wilson’. Thank you.

After reading this I thought it was very informative. I appreciate you taking the time to insert this web site piece together. I after again come across myself spending way to very much time both studying and commenting. What ever, it was still worth it
