Super Panorama

a small flea market but with lots of items

Very nice park with informative exhibitions and a restaurant that makes excellent Quiche Lorraine, with very friendly service.

A small village to absolutely discover

The "Boutonnière" of the Pays de Bray is a depression 2 to 15 km wide, bordered on each side by more or less marked escarpments (cuestas). Soil erosion is uneven. Some resistance points have given rise to witness mounds. (The Monts de Sigy, Beauvoir en Lyons, etc.) In this depression, slight undulations create a varied landscape, composed of hedgerow meadows, wetlands, cultivated fields and vast forest massifs. There are clayey soils, suitable for pastures for dairy cattle breeding. On the summits and plateaus, the soil is made up of clay and flint, while the lowest areas are dominated by meadows and forests. The soil is very humid, with a ferruginous subsoil (thermal springs) and iron ore, as well as colored clays (ceramics) and glass industry linked to the forest.

The Church of Saint-Martin, a former abbey church from the 11th century. The Abbey was founded by the Lord of La Ferté in 1040. Only the nave remains of the abbey church from that period. In the 13th century, the choir and the west façade of the building were built, remodeled in the 15th century. The bell tower was built in the 15th century. Inside, the baptistery dates from the 15th century. There is a primitive Gothic choir with a 7-sided apse. This monument is listed as a Historic Monument.

This former abbey church (MH) which became a parish church is a beautiful 13th century building. It has a primitive Gothic heart with a 7-sided apse. It has many details such as the (rare) statue of the seated Christ and a stone horse's head.

Right next to the lobby there is a bakery. They are used to welcoming cyclists. Everything is homemade, they are very nice. Table and chairs outside sheltered for eating. I've been there twice, never disappointed.
