xploring, getting away from it all, recharging your batteries... Visiting Seine-et-Marne
is like going to the discovery of an unexpected heritage, culture and terroir. This
new magazine’s edition invites you to dive into the heart of a multifaceted county,
which will seduce you with its tourist offer that is both diverse, rich and singular.
An area that will whet your appetite for adventure or outdoor exercise, on foot, by bike or on
the water. But our county also appeals to the imagination, with a unique heritage ranging
from prehistoric times to contemporary history. A county that is a source of well-being, too,
providing peace and quiet for a few days in the countryside, in our well-preserved villages.
This year across the county, there have been a number of new sites opening and existing
sites reopening after renovation work: Parrot World in Crécy-la-Chapelle will take you on
a journey into the biodiversity of South America, and after 15 years of renovation, you can
now come back to the Saint-Ayoul Priory in Provins, to see the thousand-year-old historical
site with your own eyes.
2020 will also be marked by the completion of a project to improve the attractivity of the
area, led by a partnership of a number of key players across the territory, to create our own
brand which will be the signature of Seine-et-Marne. It will allow us stand out across the
whole territory, by revealing the hidden treasures and talents of the area!
In the meantime, this magazine is full of tips and ideas to go out: let yourself be tempted!
A selection concocted by our tourist offices boards, whose advisers remain at your disposal
available to help find you the activity, visit or event that will make your stay unique.
You will find it all in these pages... In Seine-et-Marne, everything is on hand for a welcoming
stay, just a step or two away from Paris.
