Tips from the Community
This house of God in Bonneil has chosen the Nativity of the Mother of God Mary as its patron saint. In the biblical writings of the New Testament, her birth is not specifically mentioned, nor are her parents, but already in early apocryphal (i.e., not included in the canon of the official Bible) writings, Saint Anne and her husband Saint Joachim were named as parents. The Church of Saint Anne – located by the Bethesda pool in Jerusalem – is considered the place of the Mother of God's parental home. The Catholic Church celebrates the memorial day „Nativity of Mary“ on September 8, as do Orthodox and Anglican Christians.

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.

Discover the oldest cheese dairy in Brie! The Ganot cheese dairy, originally the oldest maturing cheese producer in Seine-et-Marne, also opens its doors to visitors. You will discover the secrets of brie, during a guided tour that is as instructive as it is delicious. Over 125 years of expertise! Founded in 1895 by Mr. Alis, the cheese dairy began its activity by selling cheeses at regional markets. At that time, brie was sold "fresh from salt" within 2 days or "black brie" aged for a minimum of 6 months in the cheese dairy's attics. In 1948, caves equipped with refrigeration were dug to mature farm-produced brie from neighboring farms. The Ganot cheese dairy maintains the same activity. It collects cheeses from the Brie region. In its caves, it matures organic farm-produced brie (from its association with the Ste-Colombe farm), Coulommiers, Brie de Meaux AOP, and Brie de Melun AOP. Particular attention is paid to each cheese according to its nature and origin. Prices: Tour + wine tasting: €7.5/adult Tour + milk tasting: €5.00/child (6 to 11 years old) Family***: €20/group ***family composed of 2 adults and 2 children Opening hours: Wednesday: 3:00 PM – 6:30 PM Thursday and Friday: 3:00 PM – 7:00 PM Saturday: 10:00 AM to 12:30 PM then 2:30 PM to 6:30 PM

The current church replaces the old church, which was once burned down by the English during the Hundred Years' War. The parish church of Saint Pierre-Saint Paul was built in the 15th century and completed in the 16th century. It was restored in the 17th and 19th centuries. As early as the 7th century, a primitive church named Saint Pierre was built on the site of the current parish church, according to the monastic custom of multiplying places of prayer on the same site. These places were not reserved for nuns, and the population had the possibility of coming to pray there. This church had a square bell tower, similar to the Romanesque Tower of the Abbey. It was burned down during the Hundred Years' War by the English, and only this bell tower is said to have survived. The construction of the church that we see today began around 1440, and was completed in the 16th century. This broad period of construction allows us to see the transition between Gothic and Renaissance architecture. The Saint Pierre-Saint Paul church has been damaged many times and has therefore often been restored. This church houses among other things a polychrome stone Pietà from the 16th century, as well as a tomb of the famous Michel Colombe from the 16th century. You can also admire the reliquaries where the relics of the Holy Abbesses rest. Opening hours: From 01/11/2024 to 30/04/2025 10:00 - 17:00 ---------- From 01/11/2025 to 30/04/2026 10:00 - 17:00
