Q A couple of months ago you gave tips on where to go in Fontainebleau. It was an old town and a chateau similar to Versailles. I can’t remember the name of either. Can you help?

“The Real Thing”

A Fontainebleau is one of my tips for a good place to stay during the Paris Olympics in summer 2024 – with fast (40 minutes), frequent and low-cost trains to and from the French capital. The highlight is the Chateau de Fontainebleau, which seems to occupy half the town.
