The Stag Room is the passage from the old to the new palace. It is located on the fourth of the Wardrobe Tower's five floors.

The ground floor of the tower contains the so-called “ovens” (in fact, the room where the Pope bathed). The next two levels were the pope's wardrobe rooms. On the fifth floor, above the Stag Room, was the Pope's personal chapel, dedicated to St. Michael.

It was in the Renaissance, however, that the palace underwent its most spectacular transformations. François I (1494-1547) fell in love with the site because of the forest, where he could, in his words, devote himself to « the pleasures of the hunt for game of the red and black variety ». His love of Fontainebleau was so great that, whenever he went there, he said he « was going home ».
