The Chateau de Fontainebleau its history.

A total of 34 sovereigns, from Louis VI le Gros to Napoleon III, have stayed at Fontainebleau over the course of seven centuries. From the 16th to the 18th century, all the kings, from François I to Louis XV, carried out major works (demolition - reconstruction - enlargement - embellishment), hence the somewhat "heterogeneous, yet harmonious" character of the castle's architecture.

Today, the city and its castle are visited all year round by tourists from all over the world...
The city has been served by the railway since 1849 (Paris - Lyon line), with the opening of the Fontainebleau - Avon station.

From June 29 to July 1, 1895, a major national competition was organized in Fontainebleau for fire pump maneuvers with ambulance and casualty rescue maneuvers. This contest attracted 140 companies. On this occasion, the general assembly of the Seine-et-Marne Departmental Fire Brigade Union took place.
