Barbizon was once the base for the kings of France as they’d hunt in the nearby Fontainebleau forest. In the 19th century, a group of painters discovered the rural beauty of the Barbizon landscapes, which inspired a school of painting that was dedicated to a new realism portraying everyday life. Field workers and peasants were frequently depicted in the paintings, against backgrounds of open land. Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot, Theodore Rousseau, Jean-Francois Millet, and Charles-Francis Daubigny were among the leaders of the movement. Van Gogh was a fan of the school and imitated the style in his own paintings. In the latter part of the 19th century, a second generation of artists from the Impressionist era, including Monet, Renoir, and Alfred Sisley, painted in Barbizon.

2 Rue de la ParoisseMarket Tuesday Friday Sunday 8:00am to 1:00pm
Three times a week (Tuesday, Friday, and Sunday mornings), the grand square next to the Fontainebleau tourist office (Place de la République) is converted into a bustling street market. Hitting up the marché is a great way to mingle with locals and soak up the authentic ambience. Fontainebleau is in fact a city (and a prosperous one at that), but the market exudes a village-like vibe. Cheesemongers, butchers, green grocers, farmers, clothing, artisanal soaps—there’s a huge selection among the stalls. Follow the locals to find the best ones; for example, there’s always a big line for the “Nord Sologne” apple producer set up near the entrance to the parking garage.
