Things to see and do

Built in the first half of the 16th century, the Sainte-Croix church was originally only a simple chapel which has undergone many extensions. Built as a parish during the 18th century, it still reveals to its visitors very beautiful stained glass windows from the 14th and 16th centuries.

From the former property of Monsieur, brother of King Louis XVI and future Louis XVIII, only the left wing remains today. Renaissance style, the rest of the building was completely dismantled during the French Revolution.

Built at the end of the 19th century, Château Leroy is an elegant building with a slate roof. Currently owned by the Ministry of the Interior, it houses the 3rd Republican Security Company.

The natural heritage of Quincy-sous-Sénart is not lacking in interest either, with in particular the landscaped edges of the Yerres, the Sénart forest and its hiking trails or even the town hall park. This beautiful wooded park has a kiosk and a children's play area.
