Roman Catholic cathedral built in the Gothic style between the 12th and 16th centuries AD. It has the title of a minor basilica and is dedicated to St. Stephen.

Regarding the ban on bicycles on the banks of the canal and the people (Sunday walkers) who are complaining: this is a warning from the City of Paris (and not from the police, who have no jurisdiction) in case an accident occurs, it is a "discharge of liability". You should know that the canal is maintained all year round (mowing, strengthening the banks, pruning) with many vehicles present (trucks, tractors, excavators). They have priority, they are working and are not likely to let you pass if they want, for service reasons. So at that moment, you will be told that yes, there are prohibition signs and that you are not supposed to be there for your leisure. That said, as usual, common sense, politeness and respect for others will resolve 95% of potential conflicts, no point in crying scandal without knowing...

Nice, yes, calm and peaceful... 4 km in line with the runway of CDG airport, the noise of planes taking off every 2 minutes at an altitude of a few hundred meters is infernal, even during breaks. How the locals manage 24/7 is beyond me...

The loops of the Marne in Trilbardou offer an enchanting setting for a stroll along the water, in the heart of nature. This winding section of the river meanders through green landscapes, bordered by meadows and forests that are reflected in the calm waters. The banks are dotted with small, quiet paths, perfect for observing wildlife and enjoying the bucolic charm of the valley.

Superb road, but watch out for the traps that can be brought by the forest.
