The Jardin de Diane in Fontainebleau is a refined green setting steeped in history, nestling to the north of the famous château. Originally created by Catherine de Médicis, this garden was intended to provide a private, peaceful space for the sovereigns, away from the hustle and bustle of the grand parterres. Its intimate, serene atmosphere contrasts with the estate's more imposing gardens, offering visitors a tranquil stroll through the heart of a royal heritage.
The focal point of the garden is the Fontaine de Diane, adorned with a statue of the goddess of the hunt surrounded by dogs, a symbol of grace and power. The shady paths invite you to stroll, while the carefully tended vegetation and rare species bear witness to the evolution of garden design from the 16th to the 19th century. The Jardin de Diane captivates with its discreet elegance, harmonious perspectives and artistic touches, such as the statues and ponds that punctuate the course.
Accessible to all, including people with reduced mobility, the garden has adapted facilities and public toilets. It's also ideal for families, with children able to enjoy the space in complete safety. The average visit lasts up to two hours, allowing visitors to fully appreciate the beauty and tranquility of this emblematic site, a true haven of peace in the heart of Fontainebleau.
