Formerly two mills facing each other, the Vieux-Moulin on the left bank and the Moulin-Neuf on the right bank, the first probably dating from the 18th century. During the 20th century, the two-wheel buildings were replaced by the large central building which spans the Loing today.

Ferrières-en-Gâtinais, located on the edge of the Gâtinais bocage, in the Cléry valley, is a city whose name evokes the presence of iron ore with mines that were exploited until the 18th century. This ore would be at the origin of the first development of the city during the Gallic period. However, it is the presence of a powerful abbey founded here by Clovis and placed under the direct authority of the Pope that made the site famous. At its height, in the Middle Ages, the monastery experienced immense spiritual influence, thanks to its scriptorium (copyists' workshop) and its trading post in the Bay of Canche, in Normandy, which enabled it to trade with the British Isles. Its area of influence extends for hundreds of kilometers and the abbey is home to many popes, kings and queens of France. During the Revolution, however, the monks were dispersed and monastic life died out. The buildings are sold as national assets and partly destroyed. The two churches, now classified as Historic Monuments, are saved by their assignment to parish worship. From this glorious past, Ferrières en Gâtinais retains many traces in the old historic town. Note the presence of a drinking water tap next to the creperie near the porch marking one of the entrances to the enclosure which once protected the abbey.

There are only a few of this architecture in France, it remains one of the most remarkable with that of Milly-la Forêt. The construction of the hall, which initially had 8 bays and no south gable, dates back to the end of the 15th century. It followed a first work destroyed by the fire of the village in 1282. The frame whose base is in oak initially rested on the ground which, by humidity, damaged the wood. In 1666, it was necessary to remove a span to build the south gable in masonry, to install transverse and longitudinal oblique reinforcements and to rest the 28 feet on stone plinths (again replaced in 1769). During 2003, it underwent a complete restoration which made it possible to reestablish some truths about its construction and put an end to the legend which attributed its construction to Anne de Pisseleu in 1540 with a chestnut frame explaining the absence of cobwebs. It still houses the Monday morning market.

The Gril de Corbelin bridge in Griselles is a magnificent stone bridge which crosses the Cléry river. Built in the 11th century, it is a remarkable example of the region's traditional architecture, with its elegant arches and panoramic views of the surrounding area.

very good

It is too beautiful. This is what we knew how to build without a crane and without cement. If only we could do as our fathers did.

Great place for a walk! I have great childhood memories.

It was referenced on the first list of Historic Monuments by Prosper Mérimée in 1840. This church was restored in the second half of the 19th century because the nave and the aisles were in danger of ruin. This major restoration led by the architect Sauvageot was completed in 1896
