Chaumes-en-Brie

Listed as a Historic Monument, the Saint-Pierre-Saint-Paul church is one of the city's architectural gems. It still reveals today a bell tower, a choir, an apse and 13th century chapels. Restored many times, it also presents recent elements such as a portal from the middle of the 18th century or an arrow restored in the 20th century. Inside, you can admire a crucifixion by Philippe de Champaigne, as well as a very beautiful reliquary.

On sunny days, head for the Parc des Tilleuls or the Parc du Château d'Arcy, both listed as Historic Monuments. The banks of the Yerres and Bréon are not lacking in charm either. The town also has several marked hiking trails, including the GR 1, and it is possible to take a footpath on the Yerres viaduct, the old railway line of the town.

While strolling through the town, you can also discover the remains of the former royal abbey of Saint-Pierre. A pastiche of a medieval castle was built there, it now houses the National Education Inspectorate. Don't miss the Arcy tower built in 1896 by the actor Léon Noël, the 18th century Château de Maurevert or the Château de Forest with its dovecote.

The weekly market is held every Tuesday morning. Toy fairs and clothing fairs are organized regularly throughout the year.

Concerts are organized in June on the occasion of the Fête de la Musique.

In September, place at the Plein de Super, a festival offering exhibitions of old vehicles, car rides, entertainment for young and old, a coin exchange or even an elegance competition.

A Christmas market is organized at the end of the year.
