Par Vaux et par Bois – Circuit n°55
During this walk, you will have to take a leap, a very big leap back: Imagine yourself in the middle of the Middle Ages... in these regions, it was worth the detour!
Indeed, the Priory of St-Denys en Vaulx belonged to the royal abbey of St-Denys-en-France and benefited from numerous privileges granted successively by Dagobert I and Charles the Bald. It was around 1152 that the Monk William of St-Denys Abbey in Paris was exiled there and left a very precise description of the joy of living that reigned in these lands: "My valley is crowned with delights..."
In addition to this rather cheerful atmosphere, you will discover the Notre-Dame church, the Priory (private property) and the centuries-old oak of the Moulin de Chapt.
