Take a train about an hour outside of Paris to a quaint little area called Fontainebleau and you find yet another beautiful castle. With a forest and village accompaniment, Fontainebleau was exactly what I needed after the hustle and bustle of another Parisian week. Add in a perfect iced coffee from Café Les Glaces and you’re all set for a wonderful afternoon away. 
P.s. Check out that staircase. I’d go Cinderella all over that thing.
