Away from the crowds at the Louvre and Versailles

To translate "Fontainebleau" as "Fēngdān Báilù)—Zhu Ziqing was truly a genius! The only translation that can rival it is Xu Zhimo’s " (Fěilěngcuì) for "Firenze". It had been 12 years since I last visited Paris’ famous attractions, and this time, I was completely deterred by the huge crowds at the Louvre and Versailles 😅. If you’re looking for a touch of Parisian romantic relaxation, I highly recommend Fontainebleau—it’s truly the perfect backyard escape 🌳. There’s a castle, a forest, a river, and an artists’ village here. If you’re not in a hurry, you can easily spend a whole day exploring. Wander through the castle’s corridors, where the walls seem to hum with stories of old; stroll in the forest, where sunlight filters through the leaves and dapples the ground like scattered gold; or sit by the river, watching the water ripple gently—every corner breathes that laid-back charm you’d hope for in Paris ✨. #WorldCulturalHeritage #FrenchRomance #Fontainebleau #Paris #Castle #TravelTheWorld #Palace #AwakenThePurityAndRomanceDeepInTheSoul #BringEasternAestheticsToEurope
