Villers-Cotterêts, Italy
The Forest of Retz (French Forêt de Retz, French pronunciation: [fɔʁɛ də ʁɛts]) is one of the largest forests of France, covering some 13,000 hectares in the Aisne about 80 km northeast of Paris. It is a national forest (forêt domaniale) in the former Picardy region. One characteristic that sets the
Forest of Retz apart from other French national forests, in which the actual forested area has fluctuated, is that the forest here has scarcely changed since it was set apart, en futaie, in 1672.
