As a royal town, Fontainebleau benefited from an early Metre gauge tram system.
The initial fleet consisted of eight small two-bogie tramcars, capable of carrying 36 passengers, plus six trailers.
In 1910, three more tramcars were bought (numbered 12 to 14); these possessed a Brill truck 2.4 m wide, and were capable of carrying 39 passengers.
Even though the tramway was generally well kept, the bus was proving to be easier to operate and the tram closed on 31 December 1953.
The car was put into service around 1900 on the Tramway de Melun and was one of the batch purchased by Fontainebleau in 1910; it was withdrawn in 1945.
