Elyrea - Western Europe Coye-la-Forêt Walking Tours

Synopsis :
Jean-Jacques Rousseau spent the last weeks of his life in Ermenonville. The park that now bears his name is an English-style garden laid out according to the principles set out in his novel La Nouvelle Héloïse.
In this rejuvenating, meditative setting, let yourself be transported back to the 19th century by Sylvie, a young peasant girl who grew up with the poet Gérard de Nerval in Loisy. She'll take you on an enchanting stroll, where you'll be able to admire the Isle of Poplars, home to Jean-Jacques Rousseau's cenotaph and the Temple of Philosophy.

Sylvie will tell you about her secret love for the poet Nerval and their walks in Ermenonville, where the young man introduced her to Rousseau before leaving the region for Paris.

Years later, after reading the passionate correspondence between Julie and Saint-Preux in La Nouvelle Héloïse, Sylvie returns to the park and realises, too late, that she was Nerval's great love.
Sequence of events:
From the meeting point at the entrance to the park, the artist will take you to the edge of the pond.
