What is the English translation of french word fontainebleau?

Fontainebleau doesn't have a direct English translation. It's a proper noun, referring to the town of Fontainebleau in France.

However, the word itself is made up of two French words:

* Fontaine: meaning "fountain" or "spring"

* Beau: meaning "beautiful"

So, a literal translation could be "beautiful fountain" or "fountain of beauty," but it's not typically used in English.

The name Fontainebleau is often used in English to refer to the town, the famous Palace of Fontainebleau, or the Fontainebleau Forest.
