Frequently Asked Questions
At the Port de la Reine Blanche, on the Île Saint-Étienne, the cradle of the town. The centre is reachable on foot via footbridges linking the island to both banks.
Because it was born on an island, like Paris, and had its royal castle, its contested bridges and its copyist monks. History then favoured its big sister, but Île Saint-Étienne still feels like a miniature Cité.
The collegiate church of Notre-Dame, begun in the 11th century and founded by the first Capetians, still watching over the island's tip, and the Art and History museum next door. The royal castle itself has vanished.
The town's past, from Merovingian sarcophagi to painted views of the Seine banks. The town also recalls that it was the birthplace of Jacques Amyot, the humanist who gave Plutarch to the French language.
If the excursion is offered, Vaux-le-Vicomte fills the half day and is worth the trip. Otherwise the island, the collegiate church, Saint-Aspais church on the north bank and a loop along the quays are plenty.
It is the château that superintendent Nicolas Fouquet had built by Le Vau, Le Brun and Le Nôtre, and which inspired Versailles. It lies ten minutes away by road and can be visited from gilded salons to formal gardens.
The lavish party thrown for Louis XIV in August 1661 hastened the owner's downfall; he was arrested three weeks later. The estate, which survived intact, keeps the memory.
In summer, candlelit evenings relight two thousand candles through the château and gardens. On some mornings a hot-air balloon rises above the embroidered parterres.
It is the strongest AOC of the family, aged longer than its Meaux cousin and defended here with parish pride. Find it at the market, one of the liveliest in the department, or in the cheese shops in the centre.
Yes. The forest's tall stands and sandstone boulders begin a few kilometres upstream, and the Château de Fontainebleau is about fifteen kilometres away. It remains a full excursion in itself: hard to combine with Vaux-le-Vicomte.
