Things to see and do

Remnants of the former royal abbey of Chelles and historic monuments in 1984, the two churches adjoining St. Croix and St. George are now converted into an art center atypical! Since opening in September 2008, this beautiful space, designed by designer Martin Szekely and architect Marc Barani in a spirit of sobriety, hosts contemporary art in all its forms (sculpture, installation, video, photography, painting, etc..) with four new exhibitions per year. Many activities are offered to visitors: guided tours, meetings, conferences, workshops for children.

Chelles also has a rich natural heritage you can discover: the banks of the Marne, the Mountain ... Some nice rides prospects.
