Nestled in a green setting, the Saint-Joseph des Anges chapel is a small, discreet building with sober architecture.

Built between 1864 and 1891, this immense chapel topped with a colossal statue of the Holy Virgin can be seen from afar. To the left of the tower, more modest, a pretty Calvary is also visible. Father Cardot, the priest of the village of Villeneuve-au-Chemin, was the initiator and mastermind of this pharaonic project. His grave is located behind the Calvary.

In the very heart of the municipal forest of Marolles-sous-Lignières, the path to the pond takes you close to the Marolles pond. This artificial body of water is created from the Madeleine stream.

Saint Florentin is a pleasant little town that has been very well restored. The two fun and informative anecdotes to take away from the city are as follows: during the Revolution, Saint-Florentin was one of the most dynamic places of Theophilanthropy, a religion which succeeded the cult of reason and the supreme being between 1798 and 1801. During the convention, the anticlerical republicans renamed Saint-Florentin and called it Mont-Armance between 8 Germinal of Year Two (March 28, 1794) and 6 Ventôse of Year Three (February 24, 1795). The city is located on the edge of the Armance and the Burgundy Canal, but also the N77. Some ingenious minds wanted to take inspiration from the legendary American route 66 in the hope of attracting tourists, and now call it route 77.

The tower rises to 43 meters. The statue of the virgin crowning the tower is 7 meters high and weighs 8,500 kilos.
