A tour through history

Pretty little town with traces of the 20th century still visible...Come step back in time!

👍💪

aint Loup-de-Naud located near Provins, has a Romanesque church from the 11th and 12th centuries, considered one of the most beautiful Romanesque buildings in Île-de-France. It has a barrel-shaped nave and a portal in early Gothic style with a remarkable tympanum depicting Christ in majesty between the symbols of the evangelists. New for the time, statues of saints and prophets adorn the sides of the portal. No document allows us to precisely date the construction of the entire church. The portal would be from the second half of the 12th century (around 1160). The town is the seat of the Benedictine priory of Saint-Loup, the destination of an important pilgrimage in honor of the relics of Saint-Loup, bishop of Sens. The church was completed thanks to donations from Henry the Liberal, Count of Champagne. The priory was ruined by the English in 1432 and by the Protestants in 1567.

Medieval village near Provins. Recognized for its authenticity, the village of Donnemarie Dontilly is a village (or an association of two ancient cities) with numerous vestiges dating from the Middle Ages.

The only remaining vestige of the collegiate church of Notre-Dame-du-Val, destroyed during the French Revolution.

The chateau was built in 1760. Outside the perimeter you will see a rather impressive gate which still bears the coat of arms of the original owner and builder, Noël Jacques Michel de Brion.

The Church stands out above all for its impressive bell tower which occupies almost the entire facade.
