🏰 Fontainebleau Palace | Perfect Weekend Getaway from Paris

#summervacay How to get there: From Gare de Lyon (Hall 1) in Paris, take the R line train to Fontainebleau-Avon (about 40 minutes, just a few stops). Once you arrive, walk to Quai 1 bus stop and take bus 3401 to the Chateau stop, which drops you right at the entrance of Jardin de Diane. What to expect: Palace entry: Adult tickets cost €14.50; visitors under 25 can get discounted or free entry by booking online in advance. The palace opens from 9:30 AM, and you can enter anytime during the day. A typical visit takes about 2 hours to explore at a relaxed pace. Highlights: Gardens: The English Garden and the French-style Jardin de Diane each offer unique charm — great spots to unwind and enjoy nature, far from the hustle of the city. Treat yourself: Grab a giant double scoop ice cream for €4.50 at the courtyard stand — a delicious bargain! Fun activity: Rent a boat on the palace’s lake — €5 for 30 minutes or €8 for 1 hour for adults. A wonderful way to soak up the scenery! Tips: Book tickets online ahead to avoid queues. Wear comfortable shoes for walking in gardens and palace grounds. Perfect for a day trip to refresh and explore French history and nature. #fontainebleau #parisweekendtrip #daytripfromparis #frenchpalace #natureandhistory
