Talk:Palace of Fontainebleau

"Second largest royal Chateau"? Versailles is much larger, I changed it to second largest.

Palace or Chateau?
I have made some edits to the lead paragraph concerning the name of the Chateau. As Napoleon himself wrote, it was "palatial" but never was officially called a Palace. it was not the permanent residence of the King and seat of government of France. The real Palace was in Paris, then in Versailles. Several French Kings never even visited the Chateau. The French Wikipedia names it correctly as a chateau rather than a palace. I think this article should do the same. Cordially, SiefkinDR (talk) 17:04, 3 March 2024 (UTC)

Seriously?
Is this article really suggesting that 'fon-tin-bloo' is an acceptable pronunciation? It isn't. Knucmo2 (talk) 11:13, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
