We leave the church Chevry soon to cross the park of Belleville castle and join the madness Rigault who, near the village, is wise for ages.
Namely: in 1634, Belleville appears as a fief with a farm. The first Lord Gilles de Stocky, is an attorney at the Chatelet in Paris. In 1754, Anne Francoise Beasse the brush which he built a shed and a two-storey building. His heir is the building that becomes larger castle in 1774. At his death in 1789, the estate passed to his daughter, wife of Jacques Julien de Fontenay Devin. The affirmation of their loyalty to the nation allows them to escape the regime of terror. During the restoration, they raise two wings surmounted by balustrades, while the central pavilion is covered with a roof Mansart. In 1853, the castle was bought by Count Edouard de Chambray, who rebuilt the farm away from the castle. His son and heir, Raoul, fragmenting the field in 1885, separating the castle farm. From 1922 to 1947, the castle houses a school farms and households deemed Leontine founded by Thome. The City Council bought it in the town of Gometz in 1976, into a cultural center, while the farm land are surveyed by a real estate company.
We circumvent the long react, then walk along the gravel and marl pits, before reaching the outskirts of Molière. Here, a circuit allows us to appreciate the charm of this village, discovering the Church of St. Mary Magdalene . At Target cross, erected in the late 18th century, we follow the Gr11D which leads us to the windmill.
Namely: the church was reported as early as the 11th century. She underwent many changes over the centuries, including the 13th, 14th and 17th centuries. The bell tower, pierced with twin bays in 1821, has 4 bells, one dated 1620. The facade was rebuilt in 1935 and drilled in one eye beef with 1, 5m in diameter. The walls of the chancel are covered with mosaics and seven windows were redone by the master glass artist Raphael Hogger. As for the altar, he is made of pink marble Art Deco style.
Arrived at large spits, we keep our saliva and turn left to approach the farm Pommeret. Further, the black cat waiting for us beside the mules. Seeing neither the one nor the other, we continue our journey along the flags of the farmhouse garden . A Roussigny, we listen: here sings the queen before praying at the convent chilly, former estate of the Carmelites. For we do not too cool, we win quickly recovered from the brush and follow the path to reach lost Janvry. Ah Janvry Castle, the pretty village square with fountain his hall loading the church our lady of Mount Caramel ...
Namely: the castle was probably built for John Bailey, Senor de Janvry and treasurer of the Royal Savings. Once entirely surrounded by water ditches, buildings reflect the style of the old regime. A stone bridge of three arches provides access to the courtyard, enclosed by a wrought iron gate. The residential building consists of a main building flanked by two corner pavilions which are attached two wings. They serve as common. An arcade breakthrough in the right wing led to the backyard, surrounded by farm buildings. Another bridge marks the entrance peasant. On the other side of the square, located in the axis of a cart, a hall rises in 1784, the center of a yard, to load the carts away from the weather. Ownership of the lords of Janvry until the 20th century, this operation gathers around its traditional courtyard, a living body and important communications, built in gritstone. Until the early 20th century, a major source of income is by selling hay and straw business in Paris, such as the Icebox of Paris, which ensures the delivery of ice time with carts horses. As for the church, above the entrance gate rustic niche houses a stone statue of a saint. The choir of the church dates from the 13th. Largely rebuilt in the early 17th, its cornerstone is dated 1639. The roof is gabled tower and marble baptismal font retained their red copper cap. The Way of the Cross 14 paintings on canvas is a gift from Napoleon III.
We leave the village towards the Hotel Dieu and we follow the woods towards the fund. Below, we hesitate between the cure and Fountain St Vandrille, and we finally took refuge in the barn. Starved by so much effort, we gain the gâtine to seek some honey. In vain! Just after Villeziers worries us with his play pendants, adjacent to the field of the priest. Finally, Grivery us back to a living soul, even if the castle has disappeared Gaillard, no ghost to disturb our motivation. So it is with pleasure that we go out on the streets of old Gometz the castle, which we discover the St Clair . We take a moment of superb panorama over the valley of Chevreuse. Then we descend the stairs to join the St Nicolas because house red nettle draws our gaze. Further down, we can still admire a pretty village square and a monumental wrought iron gate .
Namely: Gometz the early writings of the castle date from the 11th century and show a castle and a church, located on the road from Paris to Chartres. The fortified village was then part of the defense line south of the capital, Chevreuse Monthléry and Rochefort en Yvelines. It is the steward of Willémus Gomethiaco who is responsible. In 1070, the manor returned to his son William, before being bequeathed to his cousin, wife of Gui 1 of Monthléry. His son, Gui red, then his little son, Hugh de Crecy, are heirs. But it strangling his cousin Milo Bray, lord of Monthléry in 1118, King Louis VI the big withdrew his castle. In 1479, belongs to John Gometz Graville, lord of Marcoussis then to his son, Louis Malet de Graville, admiral of France. He rebuilt the church destroyed by the Hundred Years War, by adding the spire of a turret surveillance. From 1550 to 1601, the domain is owned by the family of Balzac, and Louis Hurault Cheverny actually a county in 1606. The fee remains in the hands of the Counts of Limours until the revolution. the castle and its walls are then dismantled. In 1826 the town bought the rectory and installs its post office in 1919. But the building was not maintained, it threatens to collapse in 1956. The town then offered a long lease (18 years renewable) for the author of the best project to rehabilitate the house. It is the sculptor Daniel Simalla who in 1976, thus makes the colors of old house, a tan stucco wash worked in Italy, with maroon trim. It performs in front of the mosaic nettle red. Below the village, the monumental gate is decorated with the monogram LG. This is the gate of the park an important property purchased in the 19th by Gabriel Lemonnier, jeweler to the crown under Napoleon III. Mayor of the town until 1878, he received in his country home to many artists, including Gustave Charpentier and Theophile Gautier.
We are entering a quiet street to see the warblers viaduct spanning the ru Angouleme and Montjay mound. By taking this work of art, we discover the little Montjay Castle, then cross a park leading us in Bures sur Yvette.
Namely: in the late 19th century, the railway company plans to build a route from Paris to Chartres, and this without crossing. Given the cost of works of art, manufacturers restricting the number by drawing the line far from population centers. But that deterring travelers line built in 1907 is a deficit between 1930 and 1940. Severely bombed in 1944, shows the viaduct of the old railway transformed into green corridor. Montjay on the field, this fee is listed as a manor farm in 1494. In 1738, the castle is surrounded by oaks and elms, he has a farm with meadows, vineyards and woods. In the 18th, it is enriched with a chapel and a pavilion platform of love, where the newlyweds spent their wedding night. Damaged by war, the castle now belongs to the Ministry of Justice and serves on the judicial protection of youth. The farm has been divided in two. Property is part of the parish of Les Ulis who prepared the Scouts and Guides of France.
We must return to Gif sur Yvette and face the mountains of Hacquinière. Fortunately, we find a little rest once they reach the wood. After passing the lake of an ancient Benedictine abbey, we borrow the greenways to join our starting point.
