A day or a weekend in the Fontainebleau Forest, without a car, starting from Maisse station (RER D). Visit the “Cyclop”, a kinetic metal sculpture partly covered in mirrors, as tall as a seven-storey building, which stands proudly in the heart of the Milly Forest. Monumental yet hidden away, it surveys its surroundings with its single golden eye.
