It makes me happy!
Let me allow myself to bring a little correction. The château is not 7 but over 8 hundred years old. The first written document mentioning the place dates from 1137. However, during the 100 year long war we had against the British people, our kings settled down in the Loire Valley and stopped coming to Fontainebleau. Which means that yes, we can talk about 700 years of “royal visits” in a 800 year old château. Et voilà!
