Every year, the Nuit des Musées invites us to rediscover our beautiful Parisian and Île-de-France heritage. For this 22nd edition, the gathering is set for this Saturday, May 23, 2026, to enjoy evening tours often enriched by original animations. On this occasion, we invite you to uncover the mysteries of one of the finest castles in Île-de-France: the Château de Fontainebleau.
Château de Fontainebleau, the second home of the Kings of France
The Château de Fontainebleau invites you to discover its spaces and its history. Come and admire this superb château, with its medieval and classical styles, and its ornate gardens covering more than 130 hectares. [Read more]
With over 1,500 rooms set in 130 hectares of parkland and gardens, the Château de Fontainebleau is the only royal and imperial château to have been continuously inhabited for seven centuries. To visit the Château de Fontainebleau is to benefit from an exceptional presentation of French history, art and architecture. Here, you'll pass through corridors that have seen the greatest princes and dukes come and go, and remain in the state in which Napoleon III and Eugenie left them!
The château's collections include some 30,000 works of art from the 16th to the 19th century, many of which can be admired in the château's historic apartments, the NapoleonI museum, the painting gallery, the furniture gallery and the Chinese museum.
Le programme est mis à jour en fonction des annonces officielles.
