Description

Leprosy dates from ancient times. Returning crusaders spread it throughout Europe in the Middle Ages. Lepers were isolated in leper colonies or houses to prevent the disease from spreading. As you hike through the Brie countryside, you’ll come across three of these former sites : Mortery, Mourant and Le Guériton.
