Jean-Jacques Rousseau Park

Ermenonville

Wander the same paths where Rousseau spent his final days in this sprawling landscape garden that mashes up romantic English wilderness with clipped French symmetry. Ancient temples, artificial ruins, and his island tomb dot reflective lakes and wooded trails: pure poetry, zero euros.
