Restaurant
Barbizon
Chalet de la Caverne
Forest bistro and snack bar at the Allee des Vaches car park, at the edge of the Fontainebleau forest.
Description
The Chalet de la Caverne sits at the far eastern end of Barbizon at the entrance to the forest trails near the Allee des Vaches. A simple forest bistro serving snacks, drinks and light meals -- the natural first or last stop for hikers and climbers using the Bas Breau sector of the forest.
Historical context
A humble address with an unbeatable location: the forest begins just the other side of the car park. Generations of Barbizon School painters rested here on their way back from a day in the trees. Today it serves the same function for hikers, cyclists and climbers.
