Saint-Jean-aux-Bois is a beautiful village located between Pierrefonds and Compiègne, two cities renowned for their magnificent castle.
In the heart of the Compiègne forest, you will find all the leisure to walk. Several bike paths give you access to both sides of the forest.
Saint-Jean-aux-Bois is also:
Léon Duvauchel (1848-1902), naturalist and regionalist writer who lived and was buried in the commune.
Émile Carrara, composer of the music of Mon amant de Saint-Jean in 1938. The "Saint-Jean" of this song therefore refers to Saint-Jean-aux-Bois.
Philippe Grisel (1930 - 1998), painter who lived in the commune from 1953 to 1998.
