French westbound, opened from Fontainebleau. Before the 17th century, the French royal family lived here or as a hunting palace. After the French Revolution, Napoleon repaired it, but was eventually forced to give way here. The China Pavilion here also houses a large collection of treasures that have been made from Yuanmingyuan... want to clean a little tour. I suggest staying nearby the night before, and entering the park early the next morning, you can have the feeling of contracting the entire palace.
