Fountaine Bleau















So one of our first stops now that we are in Paris was the Chateau, Fountaine Bleau. This was our first opportunity to see how the French Royalty lived. This place was gorgeous just like all the rest of the places we’ve been to! I have to say though that after seeing England’s royal residences, I prefer the French’s style a bit more. I noticed that the French use more pastel colors, whereas the English use more solid dark colors. It’s interesting seeing the similarities and differences between the two. This place was also apparently a popular wedding destination. We probably saw about 5 brides on the grounds while we were there. The stone staircase at this place was beautiful and different than any place that we’ve seen so far. I took some pictures inside as well so you can see the elaborate details and ornate decoration that is inside.
