The opulent and palatial setting for Lana Del Rey's 2011 video "Born to Die" is actually a palace- The Palace of Fontainebleau.

The grounds for the palace date back as far as the 12th century, with much of the work done in the 16th century. A bunch of King Louises stayed here, as did Napoleon, and now Lana Del Rey with a couple of tigers.
