Less than an hour's drive from Paris, discover the pretty historic town of Meaux, an ideal destination for a stroll around the Ile-de-France region. In the Seine-et-Marne département,
the town of MEAUX is famous for its SAINT-ETIENNE CATHEDRAL, but above all, for the little cheese to which it gives its name: BRIE DE MEAUX. So, get your good shoes ready: we're off to
discover Meaux for a day! A 50-MINUTE DRIVE from the capital, or just as much by public transport on LINE P OF THE TRANSILIEN (from Gare de l'Est, you get off at Meaux), or, for the
more sporty, a GOOD 50 KILOMETERS BY BIKE along the cycle path from the Bassin de la Villette, makes Meaux a pretty little town to discover for a day, for a CHANGE OF SCENERY IN THE FRESH
AIR. > PARIS-MEAUX BY BIKE: 50 KILOMETERS ALONG THE CANAL DE L'OURCQ TO > REACH THE BRIE REGION > We've heard of Paris-Roubaix and Paris-Brest, but not yet >
Paris-Meaux. And yet the race is accessible to all levels, including > complete beginners, and allows you to start from the capital's cycle > paths. [Read more] YOUR MEAUX TOUR
INCLUDES: * SAINT-ETIENNE CATHEDRAL Built as early as the 12th century, Saint-Etienne's Cathedral is Gothic in style, with an impressive façade. * THE EPISCOPAL CITY AND THE BOSSUET
MUSEUM A few steps from the cathedral, continue your stroll through the city's historic center and enter the Episcopal City, home to the Bossuet Museum, dedicated to the city's art
and history. Opposite the Cité épiscopale, the Bossuet garden offers a walk along its beautiful avenue of lime trees, amid flower beds, with a view of the bell tower of Saint-Etienne
cathedral. It's hard to miss this characteristic of the town, so much so that it marks the territory: here, Brie de Meaux is part of a religion and even has its own brotherhood! Plunge
into the heart of the 14-18 WAR in the collections of the Musée de la Grande Guerre to discover the history of this bellicose period that marked the beginning of the 20th century in Europe.
* PÂTIS PARK Known for hosting Meaux-les-Bains, Meaux's little beach, every summer, the park is a lovely green spot in the town for a stroll along the Marne. HOW ABOUT A STOPOVER IN
