34 kings and 2 French emperors lived in the castle of Fontainebleau throughout the centuries. This elegant castle is set in a beautiful garden, which covers 130 hectares in the heart of the City of Fontainebleau, home of 1500 rooms, making it one of the largest in France. Depending on your visit, admire the rooms of Marie Antoinette, Napoleon or Henri IV and a collection of furniture of incredible wealth. Take the time to walk through its gardens, part of which was designed by Le Nôtre.

The castle of Vaux-le-Vicomte is a true gem. Designed by Louis le Vau and surrounded by gardens dreamed by Le Nôtre, this castle is a model of classical architecture. It is so opulent that this castle made Louis XIV jealous.He wanted a more splendid castle and made Versailles with Louis Le Vau and André Le Nôtre. In the heart of its 35-hectare park, Vaux-le-Vicomte remains one of the most beautiful castles in France. Nocturnal visits (Saturday from May to September) make it possible to stroll through the park and the castle lit by candlelight. A magical moment.

For lovers of painting, Barbizon is a form of pilgrimage. This village a few minutes from the campsite La Belle Etoile was indeed one of the centers of pre-impressionist painting in France. From 1830 on, the painters of that time were looking for inspiration in the village and the forest around it. From that time the village has inherited beautiful collections that can be admired in the "Painters Museum of Barbizon" installed in the Inn Ganne, where the painters had their habits.

If the origin of Moret-sur-Loing is military, the city  served as a defence against the Burgundians in the Middle Ages, however, it acquired its notoriety many years later when various Impressionist painters settled there after Alfred Sisley. From that time on, the city has retained a unique charm with its ramparts, Renaissance houses, its dungeon, etc. Let yourself be seduced by this little town that invites you to stroll through its historic districts.

60 km from the campsite La Belle Etoile you will find Provins, a beautiful medieval city that is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
