A bit borderline for VTCs, especially in wet weather, but the passage through the forest is very pleasant

A large and beautiful square with a church and a café. A town with pretty houses. Quiet, very quiet, but ideal for a mid-trip break!

The stele is located in a small enclosed park (with the gate unlocked) along a wall bordering the grounds of the nearby Priory of Saint Martin. It commemorates Etienne Jodelle (1532–1573), a poet and playwright and founding member of the Pléiade. He lived at the Manoir du Limodin (between La Houssaye-en-Brie and Les Chapelles-Bourbon).

Located a few steps from a bend in the Grand Morin, the Collegiate Church of Notre-Dame-de-l'Assomption, in the former hamlet of La Chapelle-sur-Crécy, is reputed to be the second most beautiful church in Brie. Just after the imposing Saint-Etienne Cathedral in Meaux Built in the 13th century, it has unique architectural elements such as an apse vault composed of 12 branches that gives a lot of lightness to the interior of the building. With a total height of 19m under the keystone, the walls of the building have three successive rows of windows and stained glass windows, giving the interior of the building an incomparable luminosity. Located on the edge of the old Nationale 34, the royal road, the Collegiate Church of Notre-Dame-de-l'Assomption still dominates the valley of the Grand Morin and the small washhouse of the Vaudessard stream. Rarely open to the public, even if its interior remains visible, it occasionally serves as a concert hall.
