Affiliated with the Abbey of Cluny, the Basilica of Longpont also owes its influence to its geographical location. It marked the end of the first stage of the Way of Saint James from Paris, which originally began at the foot of the Saint Jacques Tower, then later from the forecourt of Notre Dame Cathedral.

In the south of Paris, Longpont-sur-Orge is a town known to walkers on the Camino de Santiago. Far from Spain, the town is indeed a stage of the pilgrimage. Its Notre-Dame-de-Bonne-Garde basilica is worth a visit.

The Old Bridge of Balizy, or the Templar Bridge, spans the Rouillon. Hidden in the heart of the Templar Woods, and surrounded by magnificent forest paths, it is a superb place for a mountain bike ride.

It's a technical and driving pleasure, in X-Country or enduro (even if there is almost no difference in altitude).

I am unable to judge whether this bridge is actually connected to the Knights Templar Order, as described in the highlight title (the exact name would be “Poor Knighthood of Christ and the Solomonic Temple in Jerusalem”). In this case it would have to go back to the 12th or 13th century.

The view of the Basilica from the surrounding paths is magnificent. It is so surprising to see this kind of Basilica where you would not expect it.
