Tips from the Community
The village appears for the first time, under the name of Campiniacus, in a manuscript of the 9th century on the list of parishes of the great archdeaconry of Sens, therefore dependent on the archbishopric. The land belonged to the important family of Barres, then passed at the end of the 15th century to the family of Bernard who built the neighboring castle. The parish church, placed under the patronage of Saint Martin, is a fairly imposing building, built on a slope in the middle of the square. It comprises a nave flanked by side aisles and preceded by a small late lean-to porch, a transept crossing completed by an arm to the north and leaning to the south on the large bell tower, and finally a pentagonal chevet.

aint Loup-de-Naud located near Provins, has a Romanesque church from the 11th and 12th centuries, considered one of the most beautiful Romanesque buildings in Île-de-France. It has a barrel-shaped nave and a portal in early Gothic style with a remarkable tympanum depicting Christ in majesty between the symbols of the evangelists. New for the time, statues of saints and prophets adorn the sides of the portal. No document allows us to precisely date the construction of the entire church. The portal would be from the second half of the 12th century (around 1160). The town is the seat of the Benedictine priory of Saint-Loup, the destination of an important pilgrimage in honor of the relics of Saint-Loup, bishop of Sens. The church was completed thanks to donations from Henry the Liberal, Count of Champagne. The priory was ruined by the English in 1432 and by the Protestants in 1567.
