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.

Former stronghold of the Counts of Valois, the fortified castle was built around 1390 by Jean de Sépoix, advisor to King Charles V, on the site of an old fortified house. Currently only the square keep remains. The house was burned down during the Fronde.

The forest of Montceaux offers an ideal setting for practicing many sports, including running. This forest massif near the Marne covers 685 hectares and is full of marked trails. The site is very well preserved and therefore it lends itself particularly well for a moment of disconnection from everyday life!

After the 1st battle of the Marne, Monsignor Marbeau, Bishop of Meaux, made a wish that the town of Meaux would be spared and decided to build a commemorative monument at the very place where the German advance was stopped. This religious and patriotic monument was inaugurated in 1924 and the site was the subject of numerous pilgrimages to celebrate the "Miracle of the Marne". The building is made of granite and cast iron and represents the Virgin Mary with the inscription "You will not go further". Source: Meaux Marne Ourcq Tourism
