Combine two centuries of French history in a single day south of Paris: the grandeur of royal Fontainebleau and the intimate world of painter Rosa Bonheur in nearby Thomery. The morning unfolds at the Palace of Fontainebleau, a UNESCO World Heritage Site where French monarchs lived for seven centuries — from the Renaissance galleries of François I to Napoleon's farewell courtyard. After exploring the 130-hectare formal gardens with Europe's largest parterre, continue to the Château de Rosa Bonheur, the 19th-century estate where the celebrated animal painter worked and lived until 1899, her Neo-Gothic studio and private rooms preserved almost untouched. The palace is closed on Tuesdays; Rosa Bonheur's château is open Wednesday through Sunday with mandatory online booking.
