Medieval town of Provins

Provins, UNESCO’s World Heritage List! Located 1 hour from Paris in Seine-et-Marne, discover this medieval town offering visits, historical shows & great events... to go back to the Middle Ages! Inscribed on the UNESCO’s World Heritage List on December 2001, Provins is today a wonderfully preserved medieval town. During the 12th and 13th centuries, Provins is at the height of its fame thanks to the famous Trade Fairs of Champagne. The urban structure is organised to accommodate the great number of wholesalers: the wide streets for the transfer of goods and for the stalls, the three level merchant’s houses with sumptuous vaulted low rooms... The presence of water (Durteint and Voulzie rivers) favours also the economic activities and the expansion of many trades such as the woollen cloth manufacturer, the parchment maker, butcher, etc... The impressive fortified wall was built during the 13th century and extended for 5 km (today 1,2 km), and it offers a catalogue of military architecture. Those ramparts protected the inhabitants and the tradespeople, and showed off the power of the Earls of Champagne. Exceptional monuments to visit all year round: > the superb keep of the Cesar Tower with its different rooms and a panoramic view from the top floor, > the Grange aux dîmes (tithe barn), a typical medieval house with an exhibition of merchants and craftsmen of the time to discover with an audio-guided tour available in French, English, German, Spanish and Chinese, > the Museum of Provins and the Provinois, located in one of the oldest houses of Provins, and presenting unique collections since prehistory, > the thousand-year-old and majestic Saint-Ayoul Priory, recently restored, to be visited with an audio guide, Amazing shows of chivalry and falconry, "The Legend of the Knights" and "The Eagles of the Ramparts", will take visitors into the heart of history every day from the end of March to All Saints' Day. Not forgetting the little train, the Provins Rose Garden, guided tours, rental of electric bikes, hiking, major events, and a whole region to discover to prolong the pleasure and the experience, to live with family or friends! Pass Cards formulas allow you to visit the monuments and to benefit from reduced rates for other activities.

Domanial Forest of Villefermoy

Domanial Forest of Villefermoy

Former ecclesiastical forest and royal hunting ground of King Louis XVI, the Domanial Forest of Villefermoy, in Seine-et-Marne, became state property in the 19th and 20th centuries. It is today a Natura 2000 zone. 60km from Paris and 20km from Melun, located on the municipalities of Échouboulains, Les Écrennes, Valence-en-Brie, Pamfou, La Chapelle-Gauthier, Fontenailles, La Chapelle-Rablais, Coutençon and Laval-en-Brie, this vast and beautiful oak forest is composed of two entities separated by an agricultural zone : the "Forêt de Villefermoy" to the West and the "Bois de Saint-Germain-Laval" to the East. The Villefermoy massif has a long history that can still be found today in the layout of forest roads and above all in the presence of ancient remains. Although its existence has only been attested since the Carolingian era, human activity there is far older. Humans did indeed roam this woodland domain as far back as the Neolithic. It has been inhabited and used, temporarily or permanently, since the Gallo-Roman era. As a former ecclesiastical forest, it was the property of the abbeys of Barbeau, Preuilly, Saint-Germain des Prés and the Commanderie de l'Ordre de Malte de la Croix en Brie before the Revolution. An extension of the Haie de Brie, it served, in the Middle Ages, as a natural boundary between the possessions of the Count of Champagne and the domain of the King of France. The monks exploited it to produce timber and firewood which they used in their abbeys. A forest warden, "Hugues garde des bois" (Hugo custos nemorum), was moreover appointed as early as 1140 in order to oversee the woodland and its exploitation ! The forest gradually became, through exchanges and acquisitions, state property during the 19th and 20th centuries. Its management was then entrusted to the Eaux et Forêts administration and subsequently to the Office National des Forêts (ONF) in 1964. Located at the heart of the humid clay plateau of the Brie, its surface extends over 2641 hetares and presents a fairly flat relief (between 105 and 135m in altitude). It includes a network of ponds and wetlands that shelter a great diversity of amphibians, including several protected species : European tree frog, Grass frog, Spotted salamander, Palmate newt... Rich in more than 120 bird species, it is part of the Natura 2000 zone "Massif de Villefermoy". There are 7 rare and protected nesting species : European honey buzzard, Hen harrier, Black kite, Common kingfisher, Grey-headed woodpecker, Middle spotted woodpecker and Black woodpecker. Populated by roe deer, wild boar and hares, Villefermoy is structured by large straight alleys interspersed with star-shaped crossroads, which bear witness to a long hunting tradition. The fertile soils of the Domanial Forest of Villefermoy are very favourable to the growth of sessile oak. Some of them reach exceptional dimensions. A few remarkable trees are listed and preserved during felling. Since 2006, the living heritage has led the State to classify the entire massif as a Natura 2000 zone (European ecological protection network) for the preservation of birdlife. In total, 4,790 hectares, of which 55% is state forest, are part of the "Natura 2000 Special Protection Zone Massif de Villefermoy" (ZPS). Several kilometers of paved road, gravelled or natural terrain roads are open to the public at Villefermoy. Some paths are marked, such as the long-distance hiking trail of Thibaud de Champagne, the short hiking trails of Grand Grippon and Bois des Moines or walking circuits (paths of the Brie Nangissienne, loop of the 2 massifs). Equipped areas (Huit Routes, Ru Guérin, Pavé de Boulains, Grandvilliers) with car parks, picnic tables, and information points allow walkers to fully enjoy the forest. Other parking areas are also distributed along the roads crossing the massif. (see map)

The Moret Barley sugar Museum

The Moret Barley sugar Museum

The Moret Nuns Barley Sugar has been well-known and appreciated for more than 300 years, It was originally made by the Benedictine nuns who, in 1638, founded a house in Moret, under the name of the Priory of Our Lady of Angels. This sweet, unique in its own way, was the delight of the most important people who carried of large quantities when the Court came to Moret. After having prospered under Louis XIV and gone through a period of glory until 1758, the monastery when through a number of ups and downs and disappeared in 1792. Production also stopped during the Revolution and even the secret recipe seemed to have disappeared forever, washed away with the nuns by the revolutionary tide. Luckily, after the bad days, a nun from the former Moret priory, Sister Felicity, came back with her secret to live in the Moret-sur-Loing region. Before dying, she confided the secret recipe to a faithful friend. Later, when other nuns came to live in Moret, the pious confident, in compliance with the recommendations of the deceased nun, lost no time in handing over the precious formula. In 1853, production started to grow again. At the beginning of the twentieth century, the nuns produced and sold their speciality in a corner of the Place Royale in front of the church. The nuns encountered all kinds of difficulties in the 1960’s. They had to stop production and leave Moret in 1972. In 1970, Sister Marie-André handed the secret of barley sugar to Mr. Jean Rousseau, confectioner. Thanks to the association “Produits et Terroir” this centuries-old speciality has been brought back to life and is being produced again. The Moret Nuns Barley Sugar museum in Moret-sur-Loing recounts the history and production of this delicious delicacy. Free tasting and on-site purchasing.
