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.

Discover the oldest cheese dairy in Brie! The Ganot cheese dairy, originally the oldest cheese refiner in Seine-et-Marne, also opens its doors to visitors. You will discover the secrets of bries during a guided tour that is as informative as it is delicious. More than 125 years of know-how! Founded in 1895 by Mr. Alis, the cheese dairy began its activity by selling cheeses on the region's markets. At that time, they sold "fresh salt" brie for a maximum of 2 days or "black brie" for a minimum of 6 months, matured in the cheese dairy's attics. In 1948, cellars equipped with cold storage were dug to mature farmhouse bries from neighboring farms. The Ganot cheese dairy continues the same activity. It collects cheeses from the Brie region. In its cellars, it refines organic farmhouse brie (from its association with the Ste-Colombe farm), Coulommiers, Brie de Meaux AOP and Brie de Melun AOP. Each cheese is given special attention depending on its nature and origin.
