Штаб-квартира союзников, логово нацистов и трон Наполеона | Двойная жизнь ДВОРЦА ФОНТЕНБЛО

Napoleon abdicated and drank poison in this palace. He survived. 130 years later, Wehrmacht officers drank wine here. Then, it became NATO headquarters. The secret life of the Palace of Fontainebleau over 800 years. Francis built it as a French Rome. Catherine de' Medici prepared the St. Bartholomew's Day massacre here. Napoleon held the Pope captive right in the royal chambers. The Nazis lived in the imperial apartments and listened to Wagner. And NATO generals made decisions about nuclear weapons in the throne room. Why did this palace survive the Revolution, two world wars, and three regimes—when Versailles was plundered and the Tuileries burned to the ground? The answer will surprise you. #Fontainebleau #Napoleon #HistoryofFrance #EuropeanPalaces #MedievalCastles #WorldWarII #NATO #FrenchRevolution #Catherine de Medici #HistoryofEurope
