Église Sainte-Croix de Bassevelle et son orgue

Cette vaste église de près de 160 bancs est particulièrement renommée pour ses grandes orgues, classées Monuments historiques et fonctionnelles. Le cimetière situé à l’arrière (est) de l’église se trouvait jusqu’à la Révolution à l’avant (ouest), il fallait donc le traverser pour entrer dans l’église. Il accueille aujourd’hui les tombes des aviateurs britanniques tombés lors du crash de leur avion.

Aqueduc de la Dhuys

Au milieu du 19ème siècle, les responsables de la santé à Paris firent construire plusieurs aqueducs, dont celui de la Dhuys, pour alimenter Paris en eau potable. Depuis le département de l’Aisne jusqu’au réservoir de Ménilmontant, elle parcourt 130 km. L’aqueduc franchit le petit Morin à Courcelles par un bel ouvrage en pierre meulière datant de 1865. La circulation de l’eau se fait par pente naturelle et utilise l’effet « siphon » pour traverser les vallées. Elle a un débit de 230 litres/seconde. Aujourd'hui, elle dessert principalement Disneyland Paris.
