A wooden footbridge along the Marsange allowing you to pass, at a height, through a wooded area.

This former ruined 13th century castle was extensively renovated in the 20th century. Today it is a reception venue.

washhouse dating from 1850 and well maintained by the association of washerwomen known as the water hens.

Former Tournan wash house, built between 1776 and 1783.

I went back in March 2024 and actually saw, up close, the pantry. As for the huge oak tree... squeak! 😢 Major forestry work nearby.

A hidden wash house if you don't pay attention, at the corner of rue Marcel Micheau and rue de la Montagne, next to the site of the old Saint Denis Church. “CITY OF TOURNAN-EN-BRIE LAVOIR DES REMPARTS - 18th century The Duke of Penthièvre, Grand Admiral of France, last lord of Tournan, received control of Waters and Forests from King Louis XVI in 1776. Invested with this responsibility, he built with his own funds, "rue du four à ban" currently rue Marcel Micheau, this sandstone wash house fed by a source captured in the old ditches which surrounded the town. A spillway drains the water through a passable gallery passing under the street and the houses which line it to reach the Marsange, a river crossing Tournan-en-Brie. This construction was completed in 1783, the date shown on the frontispiece of the building. This washhouse will be used by residents to rinse, in clear water, laundry previously washed on the often muddy banks of the Marsange." [Source: Explanatory plaque on the site]

Very nice passage!

Easy route to do, removing some path through the forest, a bit complicated, the rest is recommended
