Tips from the Community
The Bruyères de Frais-Vent, located in the Ermenonville forest in the Montlognon woods, constitute an exceptional natural site. It is the only place in the massif where large blocks of sandstone rest on a vast layer of Fontainebleau sand.

At the tip of the fortified spur of Crépy-en-Valois, the former Saint-Arnoul priory (founded in the 10th century, which became a Benedictine abbey and then an important Cluniac priory in 1076) suffered heavy damage during the Hundred Years' War, particularly during the sack of 1434. Of the church, the necropolis of the Counts of Valois, the western wall of the crypt and that of the north aisle remain, revealing a remarkable Romanesque vocabulary (acanthus leaf capitals, Carolingian traditions). Enhanced since 1964, the complex still retains the 12th-century stoker's room, the superb chapter house and the eastern gallery of the cloister.

The castle is surrounded by a magnificent French-style park which is open to the public in June, July and September, from 1 p.m. to 7 p.m. You can discover the park independently or take part in a guided tour which will reveal the secrets of the garden, such as the icehouse, the pond and the vegetable garden. The castle itself is not open for tours, but you can admire its impressive architecture and learn about its history from the outside. The Château de Versigny is an ideal destination for a relaxing and enriching break in the countryside.

The Bruyères de Frais-Vent form a unique site in the Montlognon Woods. It's the only place where sandstone blocks are concentrated on a large stratum of sand known as "Fontainebleau" in sufficient numbers and sizes to create a fun and sporty space, while retaining a certain charm in the forest setting. It's less fun for mountain biking because it's very sandy 😃, but the detour is worth it! More information: https://sports-jeunes-vacances.fr/bruyeres-de-frais-vent-60/
