Île-de-France

The church of Saint-Remi-Saint-Jean-Baptiste is one of the most remarkable in the region. Its existence is mentioned for the first time in the 9th century. The oldest parts date back to the eleventh and twelfth centuries. Profoundly redesigned in the nineteenth century, it was restored in 1985\. It presents remarkable movable heritage properties. Dating back to the century of Louis XV, "the Virgin and Child" is the centerpiece of the church. The nave is decorated with a painting representing Christ supported by two Franciscans. In front of the portal is hung a "Ecce Homo", painted by Louis Dauberon in 1800 and offered by Napoleon III in 1859.
