Marie Antoinette’s Room.
The Royal Château of Fontainebleau (in the Seine-et-Marne département) is one of the largest French royal châteaux.  The château as it is today is the work of many French monarchs, building on a structure of Francis I.  The building is ranged round a series of courts.  The city of Fontainebleau has grown up around the remainder of the Forest of Fontainebleau, a former royal hunting park.

That’s… not Marie Antoinette’s room at Fontainebleu. This is:


That’s what I thought, but I’m always reluctant to delete any commentary that the original poster included.  And, that being said, does anyone know where the top picture was taken?  I want to say Neuschwanstein, but I know that’s also incorrect :\

Actually, the second picture isn’t from Fontainebleu. I can’t say for sure if the first one is, but I do know for a fact that the second picture is of Marie Antoinette’s room at Versailles. Here’s one of my own (hence why it’s so crappy and blurry) photos from Versailles:

Again, I don’t know if the first picture really is from her room at Fontainebleu, but the second one definitely isn’t.

No. The picture you posted and the picture I posted are of two different rooms. Notice the difference in the motifs of the silk wallpaper and the bed hangings, as well as the differences in the design of the gilded railings. In addition, the ceilings of the two rooms are different (although your picture doesn’t show it), and her room at Versailles has her jewel chest in the corner, as well as a fireplace to the right of the door. Let’s compare.
