Nice surprise

The cyclops visit is not free, 12 euros entry but it lasts 45 minutes and is very interesting. Limit of 25 people at a time. Please note that photos inside are prohibited. I recommend the first visit at 10:30 a.m. (less crowded)

This sculpture, made of concrete and iron, represents the fantastic creature from Greek mythology which gave its name to the work. 22.5 meters high, the sculpture is a project by artists Jean Tinguely and Niki de Saint Phalle, carried out between 1969 and 1994. On site, you can also discover two other works: the Face of Mirrors and the Tribute to the Deportees. Visiting all the monuments is completely free.

Standing in the heart of the Gâtinais, the Courances estate extends over 75 hectares and includes a magnificent 17th century castle as well as its park and vegetable garden. Closed during the winter, it opens its doors the rest of the year for fun visits. If you're not pressed for time, don't hesitate to drop by.

A surprising space in the middle of the forest of Fontainebleau, the sands of Cul de Chien originated 30 million years ago. At the time there was a warm ocean here that deposited quartz in its depths. Time doing its work, it disintegrated into sand, forming this beach in the middle of the woods. In addition to the surprising environment, the sands of Cul de Chien represent a mythical place in the history of climbing in Fontainebleau.

Magnificent gigantic and very playful sculpture
