The middle age circuit in seine-et-marne

In the Parc des Capucins, the vestiges of the Castle de Gonzagues et de Clèves recalls a prestigious past. The Chapel of Notre Dame des Anges contains the town museum, and there is a remarkable grotto lined with sea shells where the choir was.

At the top of the town, the 12th century Commandery of the Knights Templar takes visitors back through the history of the monks soldiers.

A walk through the shopping streets of the town centre will give you a glimpse about this bustling town.

This town is called “Venice of the Brie”. Liking the cannals, the tanners houses follow one to another and you can discover the beautiful parish church. The hameau de la Chapelle preserved its Collegiale Notre Dame raised about 1250 in the low grounds of the valley.

This historic city has a rich heritage and its busy streets to offer the visitor.

The priory of Saint Martin, perched on the hill overlooking Montereau, was formerly the dependence of a Benedictine abbey and was converted into a farm in the seventeenth century. The old porter’s lodge and the priory church, with its raised Romanesque choir, can still be seen.

The CollegiaLe church of Notre Dame et Saint Loup is a mixture of flamboyant Gothic and Renaissance styles. The sword of Jean Sans Peur can be seen inside the church.

The equestrian statue of Napoleon Ier, erected between the two bridges, reminds the battle of February 18th, 1814.
