A very beautiful Romanesque church

One of the Churches of Vexin.

World War I Memorial

Remains of the ramparts that once protected the town of Magny-en-Vexin

Castle built in the 17th century on the site of an earlier building (old foundations). Small temple built in 1790 by Count Alexandre de Villers in memory of his wife. This temple, of modest dimensions and preceded by a portico in Tuscan order, has a double character, both a garden plant and a funerary monument.

Located in Vétheuil, a beautiful village in the French Vexin, the church was built at the beginning of the late Middle Ages, on the foundations of an old building that depended on the abbey of Fécamp. Archaeological research from the beginning of the 20th century found Merovingian sarcophagi. The church of Vétheuil blends in harmoniously with its natural surroundings. Culture and nature combine perfectly, for a moment of contemplation during a hike.

The ramparts of Magny were pierced with four doors, open towards Paris, Rouen, Beauvais and Vernon. As part of the construction of the new route of the royal road from Paris to Rouen, the entrances to the city are slightly moved, and the old gates whose defensive role has become obsolete are razed. The pillars symbolically mark the entrance to the city from the capital, in place of the old Porte de Paris. (Wikipedia).

Coming from the village, you reach the church by a majestic staircase of 50 steps 5 m wide, overlooked by a Renaissance Calvary. The church is dedicated to the nativity of the Healthy Virgin; the oldest part, the choir, predates the Hundred Years War and is said to have been built at the expense of King Henry II of England.
