Tips from the Community
To admire the Château de la Madeleine from the town center of Chevreuse (France), simply look up at the hill overlooking the Yvette valley. The medieval fortress stands right above the village, offering picturesque views from the bridges over the river and from the alleyways

Pretty building at Bordes which forms the entrance to the castle.

Ideal for a coffee break. There's a bar and a pastry shop that makes delicious macarons! There's a water fountain next to the church, a little further on.

The parish of Pecqueuse is part of a whole called "The Pastoral Sector of Limours", a sector divided into three groups. Pecqueuse depends in particular on the Limours group. The Saint Médart church is open every first Saturday of the month at 6 p.m. in winter, 6:30 p.m. in summer for Sunday mass. It has existed, probably in wood since the 11th century. The current church, with a single nave, was built in several stages; the choir being the oldest part, probably from the 13th century, local style vaulted in a cul-de-four then enlarged at the end of the 15th century. The altar and the altarpiece date from the 18th century, the woodwork of the choir in gray and gold perhaps comes from the grand seminary of Versailles. The altar painted in faux marble is decorated with an imposing tabernacle, also painted in gray and gold.

[In Advent] "we hear in the Gospel the beginning of the ministry of Saint JEAN BAPTIST. He appears in the desert and calls people to conversion so that they may prepare for the coming of the Lord. His call reminds us that Advent is not only a time of waiting, but also of interior preparation. "Prepare the way of the Lord, make straight his paths" (Luke 3:4). John's message challenges us to examine our lives. What "rough paths" and "crooked roads" are there in our hearts? Where have we perhaps distanced ourselves from God or lost sight of our fellow human beings? John invites us to remove these obstacles and reorient our lives. But his call has not only a personal dimension, but also a social one: the way of the Lord is a way of justice, peace and reconciliation. When we pave the way of the Lord, we bring light into the darkness of the world and hope into the hearts of people." (Text: Michael Inden, Diocesan President of the KAB in the Archdiocese of Cologne)

Great castle. A small collaborative cafe has opened right next door. You have to check the opening hours.
