Historical Bits & Bobs : Château De Fontainebleau

Stéphanie Lepers

SUPERFLUS

Prix public : 18,00 €

Discover the Chateau de Fontainebleau through these 76 pages filled with anecdotes from 1000 years of its history. The famous palace returns to being a family home where 34 of France's greatest kings, from Louis the Fat to Napoléon III, came to hunt, rest and feast and where they lived through great, and less great, events. For the first time ever, the Chateau de Fontainebleau has found its voice and speaks of its history to children ; it has much to tell. It talks of minor, true happenings and MAJOR events which have shaped its existence : the whims of kings, its festivies, the plots....so much to discover. The faithful hound Bléaud, the book's mascot (a pointer perhaps), guides the young readers through the centuries.All this began with the thought that much of what one best remember from history lessons is not the great events but the insignificant details. Insignificant, maybe, but they can often reveal something of personalities, the habits of the period and the relative importance of detail.
