그리지 쉬르 센 최고의 워킹 & 하이킹 경로

Hello or good evening, This hike should not be attempted under any circumstances! The route is impassable: It crosses fields and private property. Furthermore, the beautiful old lock looks more like a brand-new lock. I say "looks like" because it's impossible to get close to it; everything is ugly fenced for a long distance. And as for the paths that are actually field edges, I didn't count the number of hunters' lodges. I felt like I was in an American horror movie set in the heart of Cajun territory; there was even a live pigeon in a trap to serve as bait for... What? A fox, maybe? I also didn't count the astounding number of cut trees and debris on the verges!

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.

Along the Beaulieu Canal, you can take a pleasant and peaceful walk, admiring the green landscape and the picturesque locks. The canal, which dates from the 18th century, connects the Seine to the Aube and avoids the meanders of the river. You can follow the towpath for 9.1 kilometers, between Le Mériot and Noyen-sur-Seine, or make a loop passing through the villages of Melz-sur-Seine, Villiers-sur-Seine and Courceroy.
