This mansion dates from the 15th century. Destroyed, like many buildings, during the Hundred Years' War, it was rebuilt in 1540. Privately owned today, it remains a feast for the eyes during your hike.

On the Hambers road at the exit of Bais, stands the Château de Montesson, a building whose construction spanned from the 14th to the 17th century. Surrounded by a moat, the castle consists of a 16th century entrance gatehouse, the old medieval seigneurial residence and the main building built in the 17th century. The entrance pavilion is remarkable for its counter-curved roof on all four sides, its granite facade adorned with the arms of the Montesson family, and its round tower with a "bulbous" slate roof.
