Congratulations to the builders, immense respect.

A surprising place... immense and imposing. The monks lived on the other side of the vast church. That part is gone, but the place still inspires silence.

Ride safely. Very pleasant.

The church bell tower (built in 1560) dominates the surroundings with its 54 m height, it is considered the tallest slate-covered church bell tower in France. The first church of La Feuillie was probably a chapel of the royal manor of Philippe le Bel, erected as a parish church by Queen Blanche d'Évreux in the 14th century. At that time, it had a simpler plan than today: the two chapels of Sainte Vierge and Saint Adrien were smaller. Dilapidated and too small, it made way for a new church at the end of the 15th century. Two other chapels: Sainte Philomène (presbytery side) and Saint Augustin (towards the sacristy) were built during the Renaissance and the first two were enlarged. This gives the church its current shape of a double-crossbar cross. Another particularity to explore lies in the church's stained glass windows. These magnificent works of art, with their brilliance and finesse, do not just embellish the interior; they narrate biblical stories and illustrate scenes from the lives of the saints.

A first chapel built in 1293 by Philippe Le Bel, was replaced by the Saint-Eustache church with two chapels at the end of the 15th century. Two chapels were added during the Renaissance, giving a particular structure to the church: a double-crossbar cross. On Romanesque arches, the church has sculptures in the shape of a daisy and a scallop shell. It also contains sculpted woodwork: stalls, paneling, confessionals, pulpit, baptismal fonts and sliding benches; and magnificent stained glass windows. Built in 1560, the bell tower is considered the tallest slate-covered church bell tower in France at 54 m high. In a dense forest setting, the needle-shaped bell tower dominates the landscape like a beacon to indicate the center of the village.

There's no doubt about it with this cycling stop: you're on a well-equipped cycle route! Here you'll find shelter, toilets, food dispensers, a water point and a bivouac area. An ideal spot for a stopover or simply to fill your water bottles and bags.

With a length of 62 meters and almost 20 meters of height under the vault, the Saint-Germer Abbey presents itself in all its beauty. Its plan includes a long central nave of eight fairly narrow bays, a projecting transept and a single-span choir followed by an apse with ambulatory and five (now three) contiguous radial chapels. The façade superimposes four levels: large porticoes, stands, rectangular openings that pierce the roof spaces of these and high windows.

This 28 kilometer greenway takes you through the forest paths of the magnificent beech-chenaie grove of Hez-Froidmont.
