Heritage & Culture

The Pays de Nemours has retained a strong rural identity, combining natural wooded areas, agricultural areas and sparse villages in the Gâtinais plain or nestled in small valleys. On the edge of the forests and in the middle of the fields, picturesque villages are hidden, each with its own charm and particularity: architecture, remarkable church, fortified farm, unusual sculpture, know-how... Stroll through these charming villages, some of which are classified as Villages de Caractère.

If you are a history buff and have the soul of an explorer, there are numerous testimonies all over the territory: rock engravings, dolmens, ancient bridges, churches, castles, fortified farms, barns, dovecots, mills, wash houses, wells...

Discover the richness of the Pays de Nemours with its emblematic and unmissable monuments to visit: The Castle-Museum of Nemours, the Museum of Prehistory of Ile de France, the collection of works of art of the town hall of Grez-sur-Loing, the church of Larchant and Nemours.
