This week, we take on a tour of Fontainebleau, which was the favorite residence of King Francis I. We also take a look back at the French king, whose reign saw important cultural changes with the rise of absolute monarchy, daring diplomacy and the beginning of French exploration of the New World.
With thanks to:
