Abdication Room

654
This chamber (1814), furnished in the Empire style, is where Napoleon I signed his abdication at Fontainebleau before leaving for Elba. Crimson silk hangings embroidered with imperial emblems, gilded chairs, and crystal chandeliers convey both majesty and finality. The room’s solemn décor underscores the dramatic moment when imperial power gave way to exile.
