Jardin des Lumières 1 rue René de Girardin – 60950 Ermenonville - France Tél. +33(0)3 44 10 45 75 – www.parc-rousseau.fr Parc Rousseau. Jardin des Lumières Parc Rousseau is both an 18th century landscape garden and a Cultural Center located in Ermenonville (Oise department, France). The Cultural Center combines the heritage of this garden with contemporary creation. Since 1763, the Marquis de Girardin imagined for his land a huge master plan still considered as a reference in landscape garden history. Its unique arrangement offers a wandering for body and soul punctuated by little edifices called fabriques, paths and varied homage to poetry, philosophy, arts, and the presence of informal wild nature. With its precursory taste for landscape design and picturesque aesthetic this garden announces the coming of European romanticism. Jean-Jacques Rousseau spent the last weeks of his existence before being inhume on the Isle of Poplars. Thereon it became a pilgrimage destination and many of its patterns have been quoted throughout European gardens. Ideological garden par excellence, Parc Rousseau, provides food for thought to look at today’s society: physical space and real-time of sensitive perception ; garden as a world in itself ; presence of the arts : poetry, visual arts, performing arts ; Rousseau’s legacy and Enlightenment values: education, introspection, social progress, equality among men. 3/6 PARC ROUSSEAU.
