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.

Astonishment! This is the feeling that dominates when discovering GALLERIA CONTINUA / Les Moulins, near Boissy-le-Châtel. A contemporary art gallery that follows in the footsteps of its renowned Italian, Chinese and Cuban sites... GALLERIA CONTINUA / Les Moulins has two sites, which are located in former paper mills. Located in Boissy-le-Châtel, in the Grand Morin valley near Coulommiers, the Moulin de Boissy, at 46 rue de la Ferté Gaucher, and the Moulin de Sainte-Marie, at 48 rue des Papeteries, have a rich history whose first written traces date back to the 14th century. Guided by the rhythm of the seasons, GALLERIA CONTINUA / Les Moulins hosts several times a year projects and exhibitions of monumental works by artists from five continents. Since 2007, the Moulin de Boissy site, a renovated former factory of 10,000 m2, has embraced its new artistic life with, for its first three years of activity, 30,000 visitors from all over the world. In 2010, Galleria Continua took on a new challenge by acquiring the former Sainte-Marie paper mill, one kilometer from the Moulin de Boissy. The Moulin de Sainte-Marie extends over 15 hectares with 30,000 m2 of built surface area. Each space has its own function and therefore benefits from architectural and spatial individuality and hosts in situ projects by international artists such as Etel Adnan, Kader Attia, Daniel Buren, Subodh Gupta, Anish Kapoor, Kiki Smith, and many others.

The current church replaces the old church, which was once burned down by the English during the Hundred Years' War. The parish church of Saint Pierre-Saint Paul was built in the 15th century and completed in the 16th century. It was restored in the 17th and 19th centuries. As early as the 7th century, a primitive church named Saint Pierre was built on the site of the current parish church, according to the monastic custom of multiplying places of prayer on the same site. These places were not reserved for nuns, and the population had the possibility of coming to pray there. This church had a square bell tower, similar to the Romanesque Tower of the Abbey. It was burned down during the Hundred Years' War by the English, and only this bell tower is said to have survived. The construction of the church that we see today began around 1440, and was completed in the 16th century. This broad period of construction allows us to see the transition between Gothic and Renaissance architecture. The Saint Pierre-Saint Paul church has been damaged many times and has therefore often been restored. This church houses among other things a polychrome stone Pietà from the 16th century, as well as a tomb of the famous Michel Colombe from the 16th century. You can also admire the reliquaries where the relics of the Holy Abbesses rest. Opening hours: From 01/11/2024 to 30/04/2025 10:00 - 17:00 ---------- From 01/11/2025 to 30/04/2026 10:00 - 17:00
