As if it were the Baie de Somme... Its 241 hectares, 60% of which are covered by water, offer visitors a patchwork of amazing landscapes located in the immediate vicinity of the Marne: ponds, reed beds, meadows and groves provide shelter and food for more than 225 species of birds, some of which are endangered in the region, and which are undoubtedly the most remarkable wealth of the reserve ... Exceptional for the fauna and flora it shelters, it is part of the Natura 2000 site "Les Boucles de la Marne". Not so long ago, the Grand-Voyeux Regional Nature Reserve was still a quarry, where conveyors extracted sand and gravel with a crunch of grains. Excavated in the 1970s, the cavities were gradually transformed into waterholes, quickly colonised by reeds and birds, thus allowing nature to take over. The Maison du Grand-Voyeux is open to the public two days a week, with the aim of helping visitors discover the Grand-Voyeux while preserving biodiversity and the balance of the ecosystems. A discovery trail and observatories allow visitors to discover the incredible landscapes of the site and the multitude of bird species that have found refuge there. Nature activities, workshops and thematic conferences are also organised regularly and free of charge (see programme online at www.maisondugrandvoyeux.fr). Managed by the Agence des espaces verts (AEV) of the Île-de-France Region since 1999, it was classified as a Regional Nature Reserve in 2012. A partner of the AEV, the Association pour la Valorisation des Espaces Naturels du Grand Voyeux is responsible for the scientific monitoring of the site and for certain activities.

Built by the transient fortune of two financiers at the end of Louis XIV’s reign, this chateau is a model of eighteenth century architecture and decoration. The most famous occupier was the Marquise de Pompadour, who rented the chateau for three years in 1757, spending a considerable amount on it. The century which followed saw the chateau passing from hand to hand before being acquired by Count Louis Cahen d’Anvers, who spent a fortune on restoring it. The Count’s son gifted the chateau and land to the State in 1935 and it became one of the official residences of the French Republic. Many kings and heads of State were welcomed there. The architect Jean Baptiste Bullet endeavoured to improve domestic layout by building rooms that no longer communicated with each other, an innovation. For the first time, there were ante-rooms and dressing rooms, and hidden staircases for access to the servants’ quarters. The novelty of a dining room specially reserved for taking meals was also an improvement. In the salons and rooms on the ground floor and first floor, exquisite furniture and refined decorations can be seen. The Chinese salon has panels painted by Huet that illustrate the oriental tastes of the eighteenth century. Visitors will see a delightful portrait of the Marquise dressed as a gardener on their tour.

350 years in the making… Construction of Saint-Étienne Cathedral began in the 12th century and was completed three centuries later with the construction of the north tower (60 metres high). The building thus combines the different phases of Gothic architecture, from the classical style dating back to the end of the 12th century to the flamboyant style of the 15th century. The two first eastern bays of the nave are the oldest parts of the cathedral. The choir, rebuilt and completed a century later by the architect Gautier de Varinfroy, is a splendid masterpiece in terms of its luminosity, the finesse of its architecture and the height of its vaults. Admire the multitude of sculptures adorning the tympanums of the cathedral's five portals. They bear witness to the violence of the Wars of Religion that shook Meaux, particularly in June 1562. Other highlights include the stained glass window depicting the Crucifixion (14th century), the great western Rose Window (15th century) and the magnificent Organ, the work of Valéran de Héman (17th century).

Behind the cathedral, behind the bishop’s court, this monument constitutes an imposing parallelogram flanked with turrets with conical roofs at the corners. Gifted with beautiful cross-ribbed vaults in the basement and in the ground floor, a noble hall in the first floor and a vast attic under the framework ; it is the monumental outdoor staircase, built in the 13th century that most notably seduced, among famous figures, Victor Hugo, during his visit in Meaux (V. Hugo, Le voyage du Rhin). According to historians, the Old Chapterhouse was both the headquarters of the cathedral’s canons chapter and a tithe barn, wine and firewood was almost certainly stocked here. The wooden covered bridge is a construction dating back from the 1930’s. It facilitates the movement between the cathedral and the sacristy. Today, the Old Chapterhouse is used as a sacristy. For information: The Old Chapterhouse is a monument to observe from the outside! There is no possibility to visit it.

On the riverside, the City Hall is a building that attracts the eye. Its monumental facade, as we see it today, is the result of a work campaign carried out around 1900. Before, the city hall was smaller, though located roughly at the same place. In 1710, it was situated in the shade of the castle of the Counts of Champagne. After successive restorations, the city hall delivered in 1833 was then facing the North of the city, near the place Henri Moissan. Today, this building is the northern wing of the city hall. The destruction of the castle of the Counts of Champagne (between the 20th of August 1888 and the 31st of December 1890), allowed the municipality to extend the city hall: Auguste Boudinaud is in charge of the works in 1892. In 1895, the municipal council adopt the project’s completion: the construction of a central building thus takes place, and the original building of the city hall (left/North wing) is renovated. The city hall’s inauguration took place on the 4th of March 1900. The main facade was moved to the West (as we know it today), and a public garden was created in 1902 to further highlight it. Must see: the monumental façade of the city hall is worth seeing (balcony, staircase, columns, clock, and small bell tower). The city’s coat of arm crowns the clock (sculptor: Devêche). But there is more to discover! Enter the building to see the main staircase, as well as a stained-glass showcased at the exhibition of 1900: it represents the Count of Champagne giving Meaux its first Communal Charter in 1179. The scene takes inspiration from a book published in 1865 by Antoine-Etienne Carro counting the history of Meaux and its surroundings. The artist who worked on the stained-glassed added the portraits of the craftsmen who built the city hall, including the portrait of the architect, Boudinaud.

The Episcopal City, Jewel of the Heritage of Meaux. Come to Meaux and take a stroll through history, from the Cathedral to the Palace of Bishops, past the Old Chapterhouse and the magnificent Bossuet Garden -- it’s a fascinating pastime! In the Middle Ages, the Episcopal district of Meaux extended from the Cathedral to the ramparts or ancient city walls. As indicated by the name, the Episcopal district was reserved for the Bishop, the chapter of the cathedral canons and their lay or ecclesiastical entourage. The Episcopal city, in its present condition, remains largely unchanged since the 18th century. The variety of architectural styles, dating back to different historical periods, form a prominent part of the city’s architectural heritage. The Episcopal City of Meaux retained its religious function par excellence until the French Revolution, as an ecclesiastical city adjoining the lay city. In the 19th century, the Episcopal Palace of Meaux was disputed between the lay power and the Church. Finally, the Law of 1905, on the separation of Church and State, completed the transfer of this historical heritage into the hands of the State. Today and since 1927, the former palace of the bishops houses the Bossuet museum.

The historical center of Meaux still bears a morphology inherited past. From the old town to the market neighborhood, the monuments and small architectural inheritances remind us of the rich historical of what was once the capital of the Brie region. On the right side of the Marne, the streets and back alleys of the old town create a dense urban fabric inherited from the Middle Ages. It is constructed around the City Hall place, built on the site of the previous Counts of Champagne’s castle, and around the emblematic Saint-Etienne cathedral, visible from miles away. In the pedestrian streets maze, sheltered by the impressive Gallo-Roman walls, be amazed by the majestic doors of the numerous mansion houses which testify to the city’s rich history throughout ages. Discover the marks of the episcopal quarter surrounding the Bossuet garden, nearby the cathedral. On the left side of the river, in the market neighborhood, urbanism revolves around the large market hall, built in the late 1870s to replace the previous, outdated halls. This quarter has for a long time been a source of envy due to its strategic place on the Marne, giving it the keys to Paris’ supply in wheat and wood. >> Do you want to follow a visit with a tour guide?

The former bishops' palace, located at the center of the Cité Episcopale's remarkable architectural ensemble, has been home to the Bossuet Museum since 1927. Inaugurated in 1926, the Bossuet Museum presents the city's historical collections, assembled in the 19th century. Today, the museum's collection comprises over 5,500 objects of all kinds, all linked to the history of the region. A rich iconographic collection evoking Jacques-Bénigne Bossuet, bishop of Meaux, completes the collection. The generosity of eminent scientists has enabled the painting collections to grow considerably: the bequest of Henri Moissan's son, who won the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 1906, includes works by Jean-François Millet, Jean-Léon Gérôme, Alexandre-Gabriel Decamps, Paul-Désiré Trouillebert and Paul Saïn, of whom he was a friend. Since 1983, thanks to Jean-Pierre and Annie Changeux, the museum's collections have been regularly enriched with 17th and 18th century paintings by Jacques Blanchard, Sébastien Bourdon, Mathieu le Nain, François Verdier, Carle Van Loo, Jean Restout and Claude Vignon. The episcopal palace provides an exceptional historical setting for the presentation of the furniture and art collections of the bishops of Meaux. The medieval rooms on the first floor host temporary exhibitions.

The Bossuet garden is a typical example of a bishop's garden. The Jardin Bossuet was created in the 17th century, under the episcopacy of Dominique Séguier, in the straight line of French gardens, with a symmetrical shape evoking a bishop's mitre. Local tradition credits the young André Le Nôtre with the creation of this magnificent garden. You'll discover a number of contemporary adaptations that have transformed the austerity of the original formal garden: a Romantic-style boulder occupies the center of the circular pool, which was originally unadorned; three-hundred-year-old yews stand alongside numerous rose bushes, including the "Bossuet Aigle de Meaux", a species created in 2004 to celebrate the tercentenary of the death of the city's emblematic bishop: Bossuet.

The Gallo-roman sections of the ramparts are characterized by an alternation of brick chains and layers of small materials. These ruins demarcate the northern side of a castrum built in the South of the conurbation at the end of the 3rd century. In all likelihood, it was used by inhabitants as a shelter at the times of barbarian invasions. The Crossbowman Tower is an example of the network of defensive towers constructed in the 15th century to reinforce the city’s fortifications. From 1563, it was ceded to the crossbowmen company, who could practice crossbow shooting outside the city’s walls. The ramparts extend over 250m along the Jean Rose boulevard, next to the Bossuet garden. Erected at the end of the 3rd century, they have been reworked and extended several times since the Middle Ages, notably during the 14th and 15th centuries through the construction of circular defensive towers, at varying distances. Our good plan: It is possible to overlook the Remparts by accessing the Remparts garden from the bottom of the Bossuet garden (Saturdays and Sundays, from May to September from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m.).

Meaux’s war memorial was inaugurated on 24 May 1903, following the 1870 Franco-Prussian war. This column, surmounted by the Winged Victory, originally paid tribute to the children of the Meaux district who died during this conflict. At the base of the sculpture, a lion stands guard, gazing eastwards towards the “Blue line of the Vosges.” It commemorates the work of sculptor Bartholdi, as well as the resistance of Belfort under the command of Colonel Denfert-Rochereau against the Prussian armies. After the Great War, the monument was extended. The names of peoples who died during 19th century conflicts are written on the other faces of the pedestal. In 1923-1924, Meaux had the wall surrounding its monument built, featuring the Adrian helmet on the pillars of the gate. The names of the children of Meaux who died for their country in 1914-1918 and 1939-1945 appear on plaques fixed to the wall.
