 I've never been to Fontainebleau, but it is a magical place for me because the first act of the five-act versions of Verdi's opera Don Carlos is set there, a love story sort of like yours but without the car and without the happy ending.

 Quelle histoire très gentille au sujet de vous et votre amie recherchaient le château ! Se marient en 1990 et allant toujours fort ! Félicitations ! et plus de puissance !
