ナントゥイユ＝シュル＝マルヌのおすすめツーリングルート

Bonneilにあるこの聖堂は、神の母マリアの誕生をその守護聖人として選んでいます。新約聖書の聖書には、彼女の誕生も両親も特別には記されていませんが、初期の偽典（つまり、公式の聖書の正典に含まれていない）の書物では、聖アンナとその夫である聖ヨアキムが両親として名前を挙げられています。ベテスダの池のほとり、エルサレムにある聖アンナ教会は、神の母の生家とされる場所です。 カトリック教会は、正教会や聖公会の信者と同様に、9月8日に「マリアの誕生」の記念日を祝います。

Le Pigeonnier; a fountain with two doves in front of a 15th-century tower. This was an outbuilding of an old manorial farm.

The bridge over the Marne in La Ferté-sous-Jouarre

A cute little market square with a pretty town hall!

If you have a mountain bike, you might consider the route "beautiful." If you have a touring bike, like me, I can think of many other adjectives.

Colomban of Luxeuil, also known as Saint Colomban, was an Irish monk who evangelized the rural populations of Gaul, Germany, Helvetia and Italy in the Middle Ages. In the life of Saint Colomban, written around 640, the monk Jonas of Bobbio indicates that Colomban and his companions were welcomed by the family of Authaire, an aristocrat at the court of Austrasia. The domus where this servant of Théodebert (or Thibert), king of Austrasia and friend of Colomban, resided, is said to be located in the commune of Ussy-sur-Marne. In the church, a 19th-century stained glass window reminds us of this meeting. The church is listed as a Historic Monument for its nave dating from the 11th and 12th centuries, as well as for the stained glass windows of its chapel of the Virgin dating from the 16th century.

The Sainte-Aulde viewpoint, located a few steps from the Noisetiers primary school and the church, reveals an exceptional panorama of the valley below and the old sand pits of Méry-sur-Marne, thus offering a unique moment of contemplation.

Initiated in the Romanesque period, from which it has preserved its porch and capitals, the church of Sainte-Aulde bears witness to the various styles that have succeeded one another in the rural world, having been reworked in the Gothic period and then in the classical period. The stained glass windows from the end of the 19th century were made in particular by Gustave Bourgeois, a worker on the stained glass window of Saint Colomban in Ussy. St Fiacre, patron saint of gardeners/market gardeners, of whom there is a 15th century statue in the church, is honored there every first Sunday in September.
