Understand
Originally a lumberjack village, Barbizon enjoyed major artistic influence during the XIXe century. Painters like Jean-Francois Millet, Theodore Rousseau or Jean-Baptiste Corot favor outdoor painting with unspoiled nature. The movement adopted by these numerous artists will subsequently take the form of barbizon school. As a result, Barbizon is often nicknamed the "village of painters".
Each year, it is more than 35,000 tourists tourists who come to discover this world-famous character village.
