Attractions and Places To See around Ennordres - Top 15

It was therefore under the patronage of "Saint Firmin," the first bishop of Amiens in the 3rd century, who evangelized the land of Méry and became its patron saint after drinking from the miraculous spring that now bears his name, that the church was given in 856 to the Abbey of Saint-Sulpice (formerly the monastery of Notre Dame de la Nef, founded by Saint Sulpice II, known as "the Pious") by the Archbishop of Bourges, Raoul de Turenne, at the behest of Charles the Bald. Like so many others, the church includes parts dating from the 11th and 12th centuries, notably the north wall with a small, high, round-arched window with small voussoirs. The south chapel appears to date from the 14th century, with its mullioned window with trefoil arches at the top and an oculus above it. But the entire apse dates from the late 15th century; it is three-sided and lit by three large windows. The side windows have only one mullion, while the central one has two that intertwine at the top. The apse is vaulted internally, with ribs featuring openwork profiles, resting either on round pilasters or on corbels formed by reclining angels. The keystone of the chancel vault depicts the Eternal Father blessing and holding the orb surmounted by a cross. Also present is a blank escutcheon supported by a bear and a lion (the coat of arms of the Orsini Princes, one of whose members was Abbot of Loroy Abbey). The cornice rests on a torus molding supported by a molding. The original bell tower stood above the first bay of the choir. It was moved closer to the west gable end during the construction of the Sacred Heart Chapel, donated in 1881 by the Clermont-Tonnerre family, who resided at Loroy Abbey. The date 1525 is inscribed on one of the bells. In 1824, Henry François, the priest of Méry-ès-Bois, blessed a second bell. The bell mechanism was electrified on August 23, 1968, by decision of the Municipal Council.

Castle built during the Renaissance by Robert Stuart then Louise de Keroualle, Duchess of Aubigny and Porsmouth. Only the facade and one of the two wings exist today. It is one of the major witnesses to the historical presence of the Scots in this city of character. It can be visited and is worth a look, notably with the ceiling of its large room which is all made of wood, shaped like the hull of an upside-down boat. Good to know: Franco-Scottish festivals take place every year in July.

A pretty path which begins with a hole of water and mud at the level of Telliers, passes by the ford on the Ionne, cuts the Bourg stream, generally dry and ends at the level of Bernons.

Ford on the Fontaine Gaudry stream, near the Moulin Batré. Shallow and on a bed of flint. Passes without difficulty.

Ford on the Fontaine Gaudry stream, near the Moulin de Sugy. Shallow, it is crossed without difficulty. And when there is too much water, a footbridge allows you to go dry.
