Tips from the Community
Located a few steps from a bend in the Grand Morin, the Collegiate Church of Notre-Dame-de-l'Assomption, in the former hamlet of La Chapelle-sur-Crécy, is reputed to be the second most beautiful church in Brie. Just after the imposing Saint-Etienne Cathedral in Meaux Built in the 13th century, it has unique architectural elements such as an apse vault composed of 12 branches that gives a lot of lightness to the interior of the building. With a total height of 19m under the keystone, the walls of the building have three successive rows of windows and stained glass windows, giving the interior of the building an incomparable luminosity. Located on the edge of the old Nationale 34, the royal road, the Collegiate Church of Notre-Dame-de-l'Assomption still dominates the valley of the Grand Morin and the small washhouse of the Vaudessard stream. Rarely open to the public, even if its interior remains visible, it occasionally serves as a concert hall.

At first we thought it was a stupid idea to take the bikes with us — then there were more and more beautiful, worthwhile destinations like this one

Even though Komoot has some routes with this path, I would look for another one. The path is too steep with lots of large cobblestones and at some point it just gets muddy...you have to push...you can't ride anymore...so definitely not a good idea after rain...but otherwise not really either.
