More Authentic (1) French History and (2) "Basque Country"* History would be so appreciated. Theres an abundance of British History, and being an American, USA, of Irish/Basque lineage, + having a History Degree, these subjects are of value to me and could expand my understanding. Thanks, Beth Bartlett Sociologist/Behavioralist and Historian
I wonder was there any Irish connections to this castle, such as Irishmen fighting in French Armies or Irishmen seeking support from the Kings of France in thier rebellions against the English in Ireland, such as in 1798
Hey, Michael ! I can't help you with your question about connections with Irish and Fontainebleau, but many Irish men and soldiers settled in France at the end of the XVII° century - as you know, we had an important Irish brigade in the French army that included : régiment de Mountcash, régiment d'O'Brien, régiment de Dillon (Arthur Dillon was the most famous), régiment de Berwick, etc, etc. Not mentioning that an other Irishman gave us one of the most famous cognac in France : Hennessy (Richard Hennessy, from Cork, who came in Cognac in 1745 and started his business !). Following the few elements I found, those Irishmen were mainly located in west France - except for the officers such as Dillon, whose family gave France ones of the Army's greatest superior officers, and who probably lived close to Versailles or in Paris. Nowadays, the French 92nd regiment of Infantry is still named "Royal Irlandais".
Thanks for filling in the details of this courageous investigation. Having spent a horrendous four months a virtual prisoner in a so-called rehab facility near Hartfotd CT, following surgery, I can attest that the situation there is comparable to what Nellie described -- so bad, in fact that I kept a secret diary, in which I documented each day's indifference, neglect, and abuse. And to add insult to injury, they presumed to charge over $350 per day for their abuse and non-care -- AND THE GOVERNMENT AND INSURANCE CO LET THEM GET AWAY WITH IT !!!!!!!
An immense palace built and expanded to inflate the egos of several kings, enriching those who carried out the construction and expansion works. A magnificent symbol erected to shelter the luxurious life of some and show to the world all the contempt that the nobility and royalty devoted to the French people, whose overwhelming majority were made up of miserable, hungry, ignorant and illiterate subjects.
OK...British Fabian Socialist...as if the stakeholders in the totalitarian panopti con's satellite grid surveillance and weapons systems over global dominions is a good/God idea?
Things like this express the greatness of their wealth HOARDING. Show us how their people lived and then I might be impressed. Otherwise this stuff just makes me sick
I agree, but the income of these marvels in tourism have paid for them many times over what it took to construct them. They may yet still serve a greater purpose.
Almost slaved french people in 18th century paid for those buildings with they miserable life , prestige is more important for the leader . King built people pay
It's not a Castle it's a Palace!!!!
It was built as a castle but converted to a palace overtime. It’s shown in an animation in the video.
A palace, Marry me, adopt me
Moi qui suis français, je suis fier de mon pays quand je vois cela
Oui, le chateau de Fontainebleau est un véritable joyau d'architecture française !
grazie anche ai artisti italiani che hanno realizzato i favolosi interni riccamente decorati e creato la famosa scuola di fontainebleau

Love how he says fountain ‘blow’
It’s pronounced Fon-ten-blow. The narrator is correct. Think of the word “beau” and how that is pronounced.

Does Fontaine bleau mean blue fountain
Elle viendrait d’un chien qui s’appelait bleu ou quelque chose comme cela et qui était en train de boire dans une fontaine
Fontaine Belle eau (beautiful water) or Fontaine Bladobald ancient Franc warrior.

One shouldn't judge pre-industrial aristocratic societies in our modern democratic terms.
@@francoisleyrat8659 Wrong. But I'm not going to argue with anyone who thinks my comment is inappropriate.

Who says it’s inappropriate? It is just plain silly. This is what Marxist brainwashing does to you.

Come on! Stop whining. The muslims have enslaved since the 7th century and are still doing it nowadays.
