Satisfy your curiosity and follow the footsteps of Gustave Caillebotte himself, since it is here, in the family resort, that the painter planted his easel in open air and painted nearly 90 paintings in the summers of the 1870s. The Caillebotte property is a public garden located in the city center. It is now open to public and is as much a resting place as an invitation to discover a rich historical heritage: the famous "ornamental factories" that dot this beautiful park have almost all been restored. The Caillebotte house can also be visited. In the 1830s, the Caillebotte Property layout followed the principles in vogue: a site chosen for its undulating valleys, its vegetable wealth. The sinuous alleys lead the visitor to the "ornamentation factories", small constructions of varied architectures. The river skirting the domain traces the northen limit. The property Caillebotte is harmoniously integrated into the countryside landscape that once characterized the small village of Yerres. Rich owners, from Borrel to Caillebotte, gave a beautiful look to this sublime English garden. Today, the public garden offers to the visitor an exceptional geographical situation, its preserved views, beautiful trees and all curiosities that history patiently composed. The Yerres river banks kept their charm. The pictorial presence of Gustave Caillebotte, still identifiable, brings a higher dimension to this place of heritage, which bears the name of an artist and exceptional man. The Caillebotte's House is located at the geographical center of the municipality of Yerres. Typical of the 19th century, it was built in the 1830's, in the "English" style with an irregular layout.

The Maison de Villemessant, where the founder of Le Figaro lived from 1864 to 1868. It has been a retirement home since 1934.

The Villa Déjazet was once home to Baron Bosio, an official artist under the First Empire and the Restoration. He sculpted, among other things, the Quadriga in the Carroussel at the Louvre, and the equestrian statue of Louis XIV in the Place des Victoiers in Paris. He sold the villa to Virginie Déjazet, who lived there from 1840 to 1874. Born in 1798, she began performing on stage at the age of 5. She became a famous actress and knew all of Paris, receiving Dumas père, Victorien Sardou, Adolphe Adam and many others. She died in poverty and is buried at Père Lachaise in Paris.

The Place de Madame de Montesson owes its name to Charlotte Béraud de la Haye de Riou, Marquise de Montesson, the morganatic wife of the Duc d'Orléans (1772). A benefactress of Seine Port, she donated this square, which used to be a jeu de paume. She had four streets dug and many houses built in the village. She was the aunt of Madame de Genlis, Louis Philippe's governess. She left Seine Port after the death of her husband in 1786.

The Maison Rouge was inhabited in 1842 by the author and academician Ernest Legouvé (who died in 1903), then by his grandson Emile Paladilhe, composer of the opera "Patrie" and friend of Gounod.

This park probably dates from 1803 - 1804. It was designed by the famous agronomist Jean Augustin Victor Yvart (1763-1831), who retired here in 1824.

Seine-Port: A haven of peace on the edge of the Paris conurbation.

Some authors give 1156 as the date of its consecration, but this seems a long way off. It is more reasonable to think that it dates from the early 13th century. Saint Sulpice, bishop of Bourges under Clotaire II, is its patron saint. The nave was extended in 1652. In 1786, Madame de Montesson had the chapel of Saint Louis built against the right-hand wall of the choir, for the burial of the Duke of Orléans.

Château de la Chesnaie was once home to Count Roy, Minister of Finance under the Restoration; today it is a state school. The north facade overlooks a small square where you can see the gate of the former kitchen garden facing the château.

A former rocky and sandy quarry, the Bois de l'Ormeteau is a natural area of ecological, faunistic and floristic interest (ZNIEFF), located to the south of the municipality of Seine-Port. Comprising dry sandy soils, two lakes and wooded areas along the banks of the Seine, this area is home to numerous plant species that are not very common in the Paris region, as well as many rare animal species. The City of Paris, which owns most of the area, has entrusted its management to the Agence des Espaces Verts d'Ile-de-France. And as you stroll across the plain, you'll come across the strange residents of the Domaine des îles: the Highland cows.
