Parc Jean-Jacques Rousseau

A picturesque English-style garden, the Jean-Jacques Rousseau Park was named in the 20th century as a tribute to the philosopher of the same name. Jean-Jacques Rousseau spent the last weeks of his life in Ermenonville, where he was buried on the Ile des Peupliers.

The 62 hectares of parkland that we know today correspond to the southern part of the former estate (contemporary period). A true testament to the Age of Enlightenment, the park is now a rich site with a characteristic and diverse living heritage.

In 2019, the Park was classified as a Sensitive Natural Space because it is home to many environments (afforestation, meadows, rivers, ponds, etc.), typical and sometimes rare flora as well as wild fauna.
