Tips from the Community
Nice, yes, calm and peaceful... 4 km in line with the runway of CDG airport, the noise of planes taking off every 2 minutes at an altitude of a few hundred meters is infernal, even during breaks. How the locals manage 24/7 is beyond me...

Located a few steps from a bend in the Grand Morin, the Collegiate Church of Notre-Dame-de-l'Assomption, in the former hamlet of La Chapelle-sur-Crécy, is reputed to be the second most beautiful church in Brie. Just after the imposing Saint-Etienne Cathedral in Meaux Built in the 13th century, it has unique architectural elements such as an apse vault composed of 12 branches that gives a lot of lightness to the interior of the building. With a total height of 19m under the keystone, the walls of the building have three successive rows of windows and stained glass windows, giving the interior of the building an incomparable luminosity. Located on the edge of the old Nationale 34, the royal road, the Collegiate Church of Notre-Dame-de-l'Assomption still dominates the valley of the Grand Morin and the small washhouse of the Vaudessard stream. Rarely open to the public, even if its interior remains visible, it occasionally serves as a concert hall.

Built between the 12th and 15th centuries, the Commanderie des Templiers constitutes the best preserved Templar ensemble north of the Loire. The Templar and then Hospitaller Commandery experienced eight centuries of incessant human occupation. The current buildings, remodeled over the centuries, are arranged around a large rectangular courtyard where the tithe barn, the dovecote, the commander's dwelling and the Sainte Anne chapel, decorated with 13th century murals, are located. Listed in the supplementary inventory of Historic Monuments in 1932 and classified as a Historic Monument in 1994 due to its rarity, it is today the subject of much attention. There is also a medieval garden designed in 1993 in collaboration with the Yves Rocher Foundation. This 4000m² space is organized around four themed squares including vegetable garden, bouquet flowers, medicinal and technical plants.
