Tips from the Community
Yes, bicycles are prohibited. This is completely ridiculous.

Regarding the ban on bicycles on the banks of the canal and the people (Sunday walkers) who are complaining: this is a warning from the City of Paris (and not from the police, who have no jurisdiction) in case an accident occurs, it is a "discharge of liability". You should know that the canal is maintained all year round (mowing, strengthening the banks, pruning) with many vehicles present (trucks, tractors, excavators). They have priority, they are working and are not likely to let you pass if they want, for service reasons. So at that moment, you will be told that yes, there are prohibition signs and that you are not supposed to be there for your leisure. That said, as usual, common sense, politeness and respect for others will resolve 95% of potential conflicts, no point in crying scandal without knowing...

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.

The loops of the Marne in Trilbardou offer an enchanting setting for a stroll along the water, in the heart of nature. This winding section of the river meanders through green landscapes, bordered by meadows and forests that are reflected in the calm waters. The banks are dotted with small, quiet paths, perfect for observing wildlife and enjoying the bucolic charm of the valley.
