<p>The Abdication Room.<br />
The table where Napoleon signed his abdication at Fontainebleau on 4 April 1814, before making his farewells to his troops in the entry to the chateau, prior to his exile to Elba. The red and gold brocade with a lyre and rosette pattern draping the walls and the seats were rewoven identically from 1986 to 1994. The furniture was installed in 1808.</p>

<p>Horseshoe Staircase<br />
<br />
Following the death of Francis I, King Henry II continued to expand the chateau. The King and his wife, Catherine de'Medici, chose the architects Philibert de l'Orme and Jean Bullant to do the work. They extended the east wing of the lower court and decorated it with a horseshoe-shaped staircase, which was later enlarged, and became a symbol of the chateau.</p>

<p>Napoleon's Apartments<br />
The Council Chamber, where French Kings and later the Emperors Napoleon I and Napoleon III met their closest advisors, was close to the Throne Room. It was originally the office of Francis I, and was decorated with painted wooden panels with illustrations by Primatice depicting the virtues and the heroes of antiquity. The room was enlarged under Louis XIV, and the decorator, Claude Audran, followed the same theme. The room was used as a council chamber by Napoleon I, and the furnishings are from that time. The armchairs at the table for the ministers are by Marcion (1806) and the folding chairs for advisors were designed by Jacob-Desmalter (1808).</p>
