About this tour

About 60 kilometers southeast of Paris, Château de Fontainebleau brings seven centuries of French royal history into view. This half-day Paris Fontainebleau Castle Tour takes you to a UNESCO World Heritage Site where kings lived, European dignitaries visited, and Napoleon said farewell to his army before leaving for Elba.

Travel in an air-conditioned vehicle and explore the castle, including apartments updated for Napoleon III. The story spans rulers from François I to Napoleon III, with visitors such as Emperor Peter I and Pope Pius VII adding to the château’s international past. The listed gardens offer another perspective on this storied estate. Tickets to Château de Fontainebleau and parking fees are included; lunch and bottled water are not.

Choose the Paris Fontainebleau Castle Tour for an accessible, history-rich escape from the city, with English-language live guiding and free cancellation. A visit to nearby Château de Vaux-le-Vicomte may also be combined with the tour; check availability and details before booking.

How this score is calculated

This tour has no TourTruth score yet: Viator doesn't show a usable rating for it. It gets a score as soon as a provider lists one.

How the score works
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10. Tours without a usable provider rating are not scored.
