The best traffic-free bike rides around Jouy-Le-Châtel

Ideal for a break in a quiet village, in the shade or in the sun, as you prefer.

Located in the commune of Chevru, 15 km south-east of Coulommiers, the Saint-Thibault church has a complex history. Towards the end of the 11th and the beginning of the 12th century, the church was dedicated to Saint-Thibault. This testifies to a significant attachment to the Champagne region, of which Saint Thibault (born in Provins around 1030) is a native. The architecture of the building, modified several times since the Middle Ages, underwent numerous renovation works in the 19th century which make its study difficult. If a church is mentioned in Chevru in the 10th century, the choir visible today dates from the end of the 12th century. A nave was added to it at an indeterminate date. In the 17th century, a north collateral was built, probably extended in the 19th century by a sacristy. A fairly complete set of 18th-century furnishings (wrought iron enclosure, altarpiece, paneling, altar) classified as Historic Monuments, is still in place in the choir. It was the subject of several restorations between 1997 and 2000, as was the bell tower in 1998, 2006, and 2007.

Astonishment! This is the feeling that dominates when discovering GALLERIA CONTINUA / Les Moulins, near Boissy-le-Châtel. A contemporary art gallery that follows in the footsteps of its renowned Italian, Chinese and Cuban sites... GALLERIA CONTINUA / Les Moulins has two sites, which are located in former paper mills. Located in Boissy-le-Châtel, in the Grand Morin valley near Coulommiers, the Moulin de Boissy, at 46 rue de la Ferté Gaucher, and the Moulin de Sainte-Marie, at 48 rue des Papeteries, have a rich history whose first written traces date back to the 14th century. Guided by the rhythm of the seasons, GALLERIA CONTINUA / Les Moulins hosts several times a year projects and exhibitions of monumental works by artists from five continents. Since 2007, the Moulin de Boissy site, a renovated former factory of 10,000 m2, has embraced its new artistic life with, for its first three years of activity, 30,000 visitors from all over the world. In 2010, Galleria Continua took on a new challenge by acquiring the former Sainte-Marie paper mill, one kilometer from the Moulin de Boissy. The Moulin de Sainte-Marie extends over 15 hectares with 30,000 m2 of built surface area. Each space has its own function and therefore benefits from architectural and spatial individuality and hosts in situ projects by international artists such as Etel Adnan, Kader Attia, Daniel Buren, Subodh Gupta, Anish Kapoor, Kiki Smith, and many others. Every Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 12 p.m. to 6 p.m. Exceptionally closed on January 1st, May 1st, July 14th and December 25th. Doorbell on the building at the entrance.
