Description

Escape Paris for a peaceful day in the countryside that inspired the Realist Painters like Rousseau, Millet and Courbet. Travel with your small group in a comfortable minivan or comfortable car to the medieval village of Barbizon, a hidden gem on the edge of the Fontainebleau Forest.

Château de Fontainebleau is one of France’s most historic royal residences, home to kings and emperors for over 700 years. Explore its magnificent halls, grand courtyards, and the famous Horseshoe Staircase where Napoleon Bonaparte bid farewell to his Imperial Guard in 1814.

Your guide brings the art to life as you explore Barbizon village, the church and the museum of the painters.

Enjoy free time for lunch in the historic center (your guide will recommend local bistros).

A perfect escape for art lovers, photographers, and anyone seeking a calm and beautiful day outside Paris — without the crowds.
