Ebook About
Winner of the French Heritage Literary AwardA beguiling memoir of a childhood in 1950s France from the much-admired New York Times bestselling author of The Piano Shop on the Left Bank"Like the castle, [Carhart's] memoir imaginatively and smoothly integrates multiple influences, styles and whims."The New York Times                                    For a young American boy in the 1950s, Fontainebleau was a sight both strange and majestic, home to a continual series of adventures: a different language to learn, weekend visits to nearby Paris, family road trips to Spain and Italy. Then there was the château itself: a sprawling palace once the residence of kings, its grounds the perfect place to play hide-and-seek. The curiosities of the small town and the time with his family as expats left such an impression on him that thirty years later Carhart returned to France with his wife to raise their two children. Touring Fontainebleau again as an adult, he began to appreciate its influence on French style, taste, art, and architecture. Each trip to Fontainebleau introduces him to entirely new aspects of the château's history, enriching his memories and leading him to Patrick Ponsot, the head of the château’s restoration, who becomes Carhart’s guide to the hidden Fontainebleau.           What emerges is an intimate chronicle of a time and place few have experienced. In warm, precise prose, Carhart reconstructs the wonders of his childhood as an American in postwar France, attending French schools with his brothers and sisters. His firsthand account brings to life nothing less than France in the 1950s, from the parks and museums of Paris to the rigors of French schooling to the vast château of Fontainebleau and its village, built, piece by piece, over many centuries. Finding Fontainebleau is for those captivated by the French way of life, for armchair travelers, and for anyone who has ever fallen in love with a place they want to visit over and over again.

Book Finding Fontainebleau: An American Boy in France Review :



Fountainebleau is not just another French chateau - it is a city and a chateau that takes us on a captivating look at both the extended history of France's monarchy and empire, with the added delight of the world seen through the eyes of an elementary school child, expat American, along for the ride when his military father and family accept a multiple-year assignment in France. The balance between the wide-eyed frankness of the child with authoritative now-grown-up perspectives of Carhart as he takes us along on an insiders look at the chateau today, is right on the money. And as with Carhart's PIANO SHOP ON THE LEFT BANK, the Fontainebleau visit sparkles with details so often left behind, because unperceived, by other authors.
First I must say that the book was well written and I could relate to the area and time period of of the writer. Fontainebleau was a beautiful place. I was at Evereux for two years in 1962 - 1964. I truly enjoyed my time with the USAF there. I recently revisited Eure and the Normandie region and it brought back many memories. But of course over the over five decades everything has changed. "Finding Fontainebleau: An American Boy in France" was recommended to me by a friend. I was expecting to revisit much of my youthful (early twenties) days in northern France, but was disappointed. Certainly not the fault of the writer. Although I like architecture, art and history, I was not expecting a treatise on the subjects. As I said it is a well written, well researched book but jut not what I was looking for.
