From the station, we cross the old Poissy to join the large fields on the hills above the city. We discover the college but also the former gatehouse .
Namely: Poissy enjoys an ideal location between river and Royal City. Once the canonization of his grandfather Saint Louis in 1297, Philip the Fair erected a monastery at the site of the church founded by Robert the Pious. He also built a leper in the southwest of the city. After the lepers, the venue hosts sick and elderly. Entrusted to the Dominicans, the site of the college, followed by the architect William of Sens, lasted until 1330 and the boundary walls were built after the Hundred Years War. The choir was rebuilt in the 14th century, and the side chapels added in the 15th. If the first nuns are of noble origin, as follows (Capuchins, Ursulines) are of diverse origin. Also at that time, the canons should they be housed their costs. In 1695, the leper is attached to the Hôtel Dieu. Hunted during the revolution, religious buildings are gradually sold as national property, and then demolished. After signing the Concordat of 1801, the priests are paid and housed by the city until 1905. The college, much worse, is restored by Augustus in 1824 and Goy by Viollet le Duc in 1844, while the leper is abandoned. The rectory serves police before being returned to the parish. Meanwhile, until 1867, the lands of the town are mainly used for grazing cattle waiting to show for the Parisian market. In the 19th century, Poissy became an industrial city because of its proximity to Le Havre via the Seine. North of the city settled agri-food companies, mechanics and car factories and their subcontractors. The gatehouse is resistant to changes in the city to be transformed into a toy museum in 1976. A barn, for receiving the crop from the abbey, is acquired in the 20th century by the current families and Gros, Clos for the farm. Bombed during World War II, what remains is used by the city for exhibitions.
On plateau, the leper fed orchards now rare, unfortunate survivors of globalization. The fruit is green, we join Béthemont, its chapel and its vicarious golf. Later, after passing the laundry Gauthier de l'Orme, we head south along the castle Brunetterie sadly abandoned. Rue de la Garenne then leads us to the wood Abbécourt, where, after passing the mill Bouillons, we taste a moment the coolness of the water.
Namely: the Queen Brunhild is the cause of the road perpendicular to the Roman roads opening onto the village. The first church was rebuilt in 1184 by Gasca V founded the Abbey Abbecourt. The site is assigned to 12 religious Prémontrés quickly organizing their activities around Poult farms and sheep farms and the mill of the Bubbles. Indeed, crossed by several rus, the city was composed of 17 hamlets, including the Orne Gauthier, chapel, Broths ... St Peter's Church was consecrated in 1191 and last through time while the abbey plundered several times during the Hundred Years War, was totally destroyed in the 19th century. The castle was commissioned in 1881 by Mrs. Sainton, last descendant of a companion of Jacques II Stuart King. This is a farm building designed to accommodate 15 rooms and oak flooring, ceiling moldings, a park of 5ha. Quickly abandoned, the area is acquired by the town in 1991. Today, between 13 and National Highway Normandy, the city is at the crossroads of the modern economy and the rural world.
We frôlons soon the sheep and then win the hamlet of Flambertins and forest. At the top of the hill, we remain on the ridge and see the castle Boulémont shape near the calf, then we reach the St Clair to Herbeville.
Namely: the village is mentioned in 1168 by the abbey of St. Germain des Pres. He knows then the domination of barons and lords of Maule Bazemont to expire in 1531 to the family of O. The St Clair, known for healing the eyes, was erected in the 17th century. His bedside apse houses a built in bottom of oven, rather rare in the region. The castle of Boulémont, it is built at the same time on an old Herbeville fief. In 1819 he became the property of Baron Lanusse, Lieutenant General Louis Philippe.
bottom of the hill, we turn left to go up to big parts. Reached the heights of Bazemont, we give a little rest before the St Illiers and Castle O before attending St. Columba.
Namely: the 10th century, the site of Bazemont is run by monks of the Priory of Maule. They cleared the forest and settled Alluets Ste Colombe. The church of St Illiers mentioned in the 12th, underwent several transformations over the centuries. At the end of the 16th, the family bought the lordship of O Ste Colombe and Bazemont. She built the castle and saw that it retains its land 270 years. Stone quarries are gradually transformed into mushroom, while the village continues to grow around the production of vegetables, fruit and cereal. Although Bazemont has no trade, he was with a theater in 1804 by its mayor. In 1893, the municipality buys the castle and installed his administrative departments and schools.
After some relief, we approach Flins Bouafle and before crossing the valley of the farm Rouloir . After the great mill, we cross the land and reach the Chamoiserie farm Bécheville . From there, we join the mill and dovecote Countess. Then we round the white grape from the west, and pass by the house Michelet.
Namely: the Middle Ages, the village is a stronghold County Meulan . Countess Agnes de Montfort endows a church and a leper in the 12th century. The latter consists of a hospital, a hotel and a cemetery. Damaged by the Hundred Years War, the site was abandoned in favor of the Hotel Dieu de Meulan, while common is leased to farmers. In the 17th, a castle is built Bécheville. The last Lord it abandoned its privileges in 1789. Meanwhile, the growers have always been vested, the town is changing with the arrival of the railway in 1843. New tourists flock to spend their Sunday at the waterfront and nice homes appear. In 1876, architect Jules Saulnier (chocolate Menier) built a castle of brick and stone on the banks of the Seine, on behalf of Henry Michelet. The park area is then split into several batches, while the property is acquired by the municipality. The remains of the leper were auctioned in 1926. Only the dovecote survives. Later, with the installation of the Renault factory in Flins, the city still turns to building housing projects in the fields.
After a short break, we cross the Seine and see the old fort Meulan. Discouraged by the hill, we drive up to Paradise to get the wood from Saracens. From here we follow the river to Vaux , then the church of St Peter , mushroom.
Namely: after serving a trading Gaul, the island is transformed into a fort by Count Robert in the 12th century, while the village has developed on Paradise Hill, away from flooding. The bridge connects the poles in the strong town on the right bank. The fort was reinforced fortifications during the 14th order of Duguesclin, followed by Henry IV in the 16th. Moreover, after having belonged to the abbey of the 3rd Jumièges century Vaux is the property of the Counts of Meulan before returning to Olivier Le Daim, Louis XI advisor. He built a mansion with several towers pepper. The building was restored by the family that Vion is also rebuilding the church destroyed during the Hundred Years War. Until then growers, the villagers become quarrymen in the 16th with abundant gypsum mining in the forest of Hautil. In 1819 the castle was left to Vincent Marochetti, counsel for the Duchess of Tuscany. His son Charles became sculptor to King Louis Philippe officile (Arc de Triomphe). He invites him home to many artists, including Sully Prudhomme.
We must then do a big effort to get into the wood of the Hautil, taking care not to get out of the way, on pain of collapse. Further, the Castle Tower watching us from his observatory. We drive then to the castle Barbannerie , then the castle Fay before taking the direction of Maurecourt. Through the village, we find the Church of the Nativity and Roy's house before returning to the Oise.
Namely: the castle tower, built in 1900, was bought by the town in 1955. In 1973, she did develop an astronomical observatory. In the park, a permanent exhibition using the principle of light has a black northern sky in 30 dioramas. The castle of Barbannerie, it is for Roy, owner of Castle Fay. Ferdinand's son had it built in 1914 and works, suspended during the war resumed in 1919. But the service career he is suing to stop construction. The case drags on points of law, but King Ferdinand is successful and the building is complete in 1922. Besides, the castle displays Fay style Louis XIII, but its construction dates from the mid 15th. In 1789, he belongs to Armand Damilliers Thésigny of who sells it to Mr Ste Marie who installs the English park. He sold the property in 1853 to Count Lepic Leon, son of General Napoleon. But Gustave Roy, president of the Paris Chamber of Commerce bought it in 1861. His family remained until 1973. A Maurecourt , the Church of the Nativity, built in 1531, serves as a branch of the church Andrésy. Blessed in 1563, its tower was replaced in 1853 and then a tower was added in 1866, while the porch was demolished and the vestry enlarged. Inside woodwork 17th, 18th bronze. Rue du General de Gaulle, the town decided in 1824 to install the school in the house of General Lepic. Quickly too small, the town is moving on the land adjacent to the church in 1914. The hotel is inaugurated in 1924. To the south, the railway viaduct, 15m high, in 1889. A limit Andrésy, home of the King is built in the 17th by a notary of Paris, Denis ROMIGNY. In the 20th, it belongs to Dauchy-Desvignes, who add a wing back. The heirs shall subdivide its fleet in 1962. The property was renamed because of its proximity to the door of the King, border royal hunts destroyed during the revolution.
After following the Oise River to the Seine, we visit Andresy: St Germain , manors, locks.
Namely: Caesar gave its impetus to the city by installing his troops to monitor the valleys of the Seine and Oise. After his departure, the inhabitants rely on the protection of the bishop of Lutetia. In 500, Clovis gave the land Andrésy the clergy of Paris. The church is built St Germain From the 13th century. His elevation has a clerestory columns surmounted by capitals, columns supporting beams. Francis is the complement of a chapel. Henri IV, Louis XIII and Louis XIV regularly stay in the city. Bonaparte also loved to hunt with General Lepic, who retires to his mansion on the banks of the Seine. In the 20th century, the development of the Seine gave rise to the construction of locks and dams needle and farms, a technique invented by engineer Perry. The needles are contiguous planks topped by a walkway. Their dangerous maneuver is performed manually.
We follow the path of the water until the lock Careers which opens on the Ile St Louis and the Renault factory. Fleeing the industrial area, we go back to the old town to see townhouses and St Joseph . Afterwards, we cross the Seine to find our starting point.
Namely: Careers is primarily a lake village (on stilts). Theobald of Marly founded the priory St Blaise in 1162, but residents continue to walk 5km to go the Office of Triel Sunday. In 1659 a chapel was finally built. Meanwhile, many properties are born in the village. In 1525, Simon Danes, notary, is building a large property, he yields to his son Adam Brisset, Grenetier attic salt in Poissy. In 1630, Roland Coudray, rich bourgeois, is building the castle Champfleury. His descendants sold the castle and know several owners Louise Bussiere of Cuvier, the Marquise de Chavigny Bridges, widow of the Earl of Boisgelin, the Duke of Bojano, the Comte de Ronceray. In 1671, ownership of Brisset is divided among the heirs. Marie Brisset recovers most of the buildings including the mansion. The judging uncomfortable, she built the mansion Denouval the other side of the road and connects the two parcels by a tunnel. His heirs are seized and their assets are not acquired bank Millon Delafosse. In bankruptcy, it sold in 1783 to Pierre Castillon. His son then sells to Nicolas Vilma in 1816. Changed during the 20th, remains only a wing and a Louis XIV-style staircase, occupied by the priest since the demolition of the rectory. Watch the home is the other part of the property Brisset. The buildings then know several owners: Charles Louis Mesle Tissier in 1831 and Edmond in 1876. In 1923, the castle Champfleury is used for instruction of young girls whose father died in the war. In 1933, the Franciscans settled there and deliver the services parish before ownership is fragmented. In 1955, the municipality acquires and creates a home for young workers, before handing it over to the Department of Health and Social Affairs. For centuries, the village depends on agriculture and quarrying of stones. Abandoned, the latter serve as shelter during the two world wars and mushroom. With spreading, the vegetable growing is growing to supply the markets of Paris and St Germain, but disappears for half a century for the benefit of the exploitation of quarries. The district Grésillons are dedicated to the breeding of racehorses by Edmund White in 1885, and William Van Der Bilt Macomber in 1906 and 1919.
