Barbizon is the cradle of the pre-impressionist painters of the 19th century. The houses of Théodore Rousseau and of Jean François Millet have become museums. The streets of this village, located on the skirts of one of the most beautiful forests in Europe and the plain of the Angelus, have not lost any of their picturesque charm.
