The Charlemagne oak: "When the artists arrived in the early 19th century, the road out of barbizon to the forest, the allée aux Vaches, was lined with young oaks planted in 1802. In 1830 it was just a dense,dark unattractive pole-plantation. In 1860, Jean-Francois Millet (1814-1875) succeeded, however, in producting a painting that highlighted the monotonous sadness of this type of forest, especially when covered in snow. Today, the Mazettes forest road goes through a vast avunue of 200-year old oaks, the finest example of it was named the Charlemagne Oak in 2000 by children of Barbizon."
