Cour du Cheval Blanc

259
The Cour du Cheval Blanc at Fontainebleau, named for a statue of a white horse once displayed there, showcases Renaissance grandeur. It gained historical significance as the site of Napoleon’s 1814 farewell. In the foreground, Max stands, while schoolchildren gather behind, linking past royal rituals with present-day encounters.
