Affiliated with the Abbey of Cluny, the Basilica of Longpont also owes its influence to its geographical location. It marked the end of the first stage of the Way of Saint James from Paris, which originally began at the foot of the Saint Jacques Tower, then later from the forecourt of Notre Dame Cathedral.
