Château de Fontainebleau Commemorates Last Stay of Louis XVI and Marie-Antoinette

The Château de Fontainebleau is commemorating the 240th anniversary of the last stay of Louis XVI and Marie-Antoinette within its walls. Special events are organized to mark this significant period in French royal history. The initiative aims to immerse the public in the atmosphere of the late 18th-century court.

These events seek to recreate the refined and effervescent atmosphere of the festivities that characterized court life at Fontainebleau during the 1770s and 1780s. This historical reconstruction offers a unique perspective on the daily lives of the monarchs and their entourage before the major upheavals of the French Revolution.

The commemoration of this historic autumn provides an opportunity to better understand the customs and splendor of royalty. It is also a chance to preserve and transmit the memory of this pivotal period to a wide audience.
