You get lost, you hide there, and crossing it changes you forever. Enchanted, evil, or forbidden, it is an evitable passage for any character in a tale in perdition, or in search of adventure. A symbol of nature in its wild state, the scent of initiation rites, mysterious events, and fantastic encounters, it inspires Perrault, La Fontaine, and many others. It is home to the most extraordinary creatures and is the source of the great myths and legends or your childhood. Once upon a time, there was wood.
