Nuit des Forêts at Fontainebleau 2023: art, nature and beautiful free discoveries

From June 9 to 11, the Forest of Fontainebleau vibrates to the rhythm of the Nuits des Forêts. This national event is the pride of this forest of arts, where art and nature meet in a fascinating mix. Artists from all horizons offer free performances, and walks are organized for the curious. Among the highlights, discover 'le coup de chaud sur les forêts', an exploration of the forest of Fontainebleau in the face of climate change, commented by Alexandre Butin, forester at the ONF.

The program of the Nuits des Forêts in Fontainebleau includes :

• The musical and naturalist storytelling walk, followed by a picnic and an acoustic concert

And to close this beautiful adventure, don't miss the new exhibition on the art of cyanotype at the Stéphane Mallarmé Museum. Organized as part of the year of "Incredible gardens, emotions and discoveries throughout the seasons", this exhibition offers a poetic and artistic vision of nature and flora through the prism of cyanotype, a 19th century photographic process.

The Nuits des Forêts are more than a simple event: they are an invitation to reconnect with nature, to awaken our senses and to stimulate our collective intelligence. Faced with a crisis of sensitivity to the living world, this event offers a series of intimate and collective experiences, creative and educational, to reconnect with the artistic history of the forest of Fontainebleau. It is a unique opportunity to discover its mysteries, to learn more about its management and its future, and why not, to arouse the desire to act for the preservation of these natural spaces.
