Barbizon, Rural commune in Seine-et-Marne, France.
The village extends across 15 square kilometers of land near Fontainebleau Forest, featuring traditional stone houses along narrow streets at 93 meters elevation.
The settlement transformed from an agricultural village into an art center after Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot discovered its natural landscapes in 1827.
The village became the foundation of the Barbizon School movement, where painters including Theodore Rousseau and Jean-François Millet established their studios.
Visitors can reach the village through regular train services from Paris to Fontainebleau-Avon station, followed by a local bus connection.
The former Auberge Ganne, where artists gathered in the 19th century, now functions as a museum displaying paintings and furniture from that period.
