Fontainebleau holds the distinction of being the world's first legally protected nature reserve, predating Yellowstone National Park by 11 years. On August 13, 1861, Napoleon III issued a decree protecting 1,097 hectares as an "artistic reserve" at the insistence of painters who feared the destruction of the landscapes they painted.
