One of the most beautiful villages of Île de France accessible by a small climb whatever your route of arrival. Several historical monuments to see: first of all the 12th and 13th century church, the ruins of the keep which are the remains of a castle having been the scene of a battle during the Hundred Years War, and the arch of the gateway to Brittany.

Five points to see in this village: the church and its fortifications, the Porte de Bretagne, the wash house, the pink house - which turns out to be a restaurant called 'the green mare', the graves of the six Australian aviators with the messages engraved with their loved ones.
