The best running trails around Russy-Bémont

At the tip of the fortified spur of Crépy-en-Valois, the former Saint-Arnoul priory (founded in the 10th century, which became a Benedictine abbey and then an important Cluniac priory in 1076) suffered heavy damage during the Hundred Years' War, particularly during the sack of 1434. Of the church, the necropolis of the Counts of Valois, the western wall of the crypt and that of the north aisle remain, revealing a remarkable Romanesque vocabulary (acanthus leaf capitals, Carolingian traditions). Enhanced since 1964, the complex still retains the 12th-century stoker's room, the superb chapter house and the eastern gallery of the cloister.

The Collegiate Church of St. Thomas of Canterbury is one of the city's splendors. This ancient Gothic-style church, deconsecrated during the Revolution, has since suffered extensive damage.

The Notre-Dame de Morienval abbey is a former Benedictine abbey for women, probably founded during the third quarter of the 9th century by Charles the Bald, in a valley near Crépy-en-Valois, in the current town of Morienval in the Oise. Since the suppression of the abbey in 1745, its church has served as the parish church of the village. It takes the name of Saint Denis from the old parish church demolished in 1750. The rare conventual buildings of the old abbey which were not demolished after the French Revolution belong to a private owner and cannot be visited. In any case, it is its impressive Romanesque church that makes Morienval famous. It was built from the middle of the 11th century and is thus one of the oldest Romanesque churches in the region, where Carolingian architecture continued for a long time.
