A large and beautiful square with a church and a café. A town with pretty houses. Quiet, very quiet, but ideal for a mid-trip break!

I went back in March 2024 and actually saw, up close, the pantry. As for the huge oak tree... squeak! 😢 Major forestry work nearby.

The town of Fontenay-Trésigny is accessible via five entrances: rue Bertaux (north-west), avenue du Général Leclerc (north), avenue de Verdun (east), avenue Pasteur (south) and rue Jehan de Brie (south-west) . The old town of Fontenay was established directly upstream of the confluence of the Bréon and the Ru de Monnoury. The destiny of the town is inseparable from that of the Château de Fontenay, built on a place of passage leaning on the Bréon. The oldest part of the city extends along the streets Jehan de Brie (then called "rue de Laveau") and Bertaux (then called "Grande Rue"), from the church (founded in the 11th century) to the lower door (built in 1544). The compact group of dwellings, attached to each other, was already present in the 18th century. The town was fortified in the 16th and 17th centuries, surrounded by walls and ditches. The upper gate was built in 1661. It is likely that the path to Rozoy (Diou de Nesles) passed in the Middle Ages through Margat (rue du Margat) and Bordes (rue La Fayette).
