View of Palace and Gardens

This view (from the Grand Parterre) shows the palace’s long brick-and-stone façades, begun under Francis I (16th c.) and expanded by successive rulers. The formal garden by André Le Nôtre (17th c.) frames the scene, emphasizing symmetry and grandeur. Together, palace and garden reveal Fontainebleau as both royal residence and stage of French power.
