Tour of Versailles & GivernyBequeathed to France's Académie des Beaux-Arts by the artist's son Michel in 1966,Claude Monet's property at Giverny has since undergone major restoration. With itspink render on the outside, the house where the leader of the Impressionist schoollived from 1883 until 1926 has regained the colorful interior and intimate charm ofthose bygone days. Several of its rooms are now devoted to the artist's preciouscollection of Japanese prints, hung in accordance with the instructions of the Masterof Giverny.This enormous palace was built in the mid 17 th century during the reign of Louis XIV –the roi soleil (sun King) – to project both at home and abroad the absolute power ofFrance monarchy, then at the height its glory. Its scale and décor also reflect LouisXIV’s taste for profligate luxury and his near boundless appetite for self-glorification.Some 30,000 workers and soldiers toiled on the structure, whose construction billswrought havoc on the kingdom’s finance.The Chateau complex consists of four main parts: the palace building, a 580 m longstructure with innumerable wings, grand halls and sumptuous bedchambers; the vastgardens, canals and pools west of the palace; and two outbuildings, the GrandTrianon and, a few hundred meters to the east the Petit Trianon.Wtravelfrance.com - W Travel France

Tour of Fontainebleau & ProvinsLess dazzling than Versailles, the Palace of Fontainebleau is thought by some to bemore appealing and, despite its magnificence, more intimate. It certainly exhibits amuch longer association with the French monarchy, reaching across seven centuriesfrom King Louis VII to the Emperor Napoleon III, the last in a long succession ofroyal and imperial dynasties.It is the palace that François I spoke of simply as "chez moi", the palace in whichmany of his successors felt most "at home", the palace chosen by Napoleon as onein which he could clearly associate his own sovereignty with that of the anointedkings of France, the palace in which he made the Pope his prisoner. Each added toits decoration, in which successive styles reflect the great ages of François I, HenriIV, Louis XIV and Napoleon.Architectural variety is matched by an equal wealth of memories, culminating in thedrama of Napoleon's abdication at Fontainebleau and his emotional farewell to hisOld Guard in the courtyard still called "La Cour des Adieux".The fortified medieval town of Provins is situated in the former territory of thepowerful Counts of Champagne. It bears witness to early developments in theorganization of international trading fairs and the wool industry. The urbanstructure of Provins, which was built specifically to host the fairs and relatedactivities, has been well preservedWtravelfrance.com - W Travel France
