Fontainebleau & Barbizon Private Day Tour from Paris | Guided Château & Village Trip
Experience a private Fontainebleau & Barbizon day tour from Paris with a licensed expert guide.
Explore the royal Château de Fontainebleau, the only French château continuously inhabited for seven centuries, and stroll through the charming artists’ village of Barbizon, famous for its 19th-century Barbizon School painters.
Your private day trip from Paris begins with pick-up at your hotel or apartment, followed by a comfortable drive in a luxury air-conditioned van to Fontainebleau (approximately 1 hour). Enjoy a private guided tour of Fontainebleau Castle, where your expert guide will show you the most iconic rooms and highlights of this sprawling 1,500-room palace.
Admire tapestries, gilded carvings, frescoes, and Italian Renaissance paintings by Rosso Fiorentino and Primaticcio, the pioneers of the First School of Fontainebleau. Travel through centuries of French history, from the medieval era to Napoleon Bonaparte, and learn why Napoleon preferred Fontainebleau, including signing the Treaty of Fontainebleau, which ended his reign as Emperor of France.
The second part of the tour takes you to Barbizon, a picturesque village near Fontainebleau, famous for the Barbizon School of painters. Discover the landscapes that inspired Jean-François Millet, Théodore Rousseau, and Charles-François Daubigny, pioneers of realism and impressionism, and explore the village’s quaint streets, galleries, and natural surroundings.
