The forgotten impressionist master and his Medieval village - Moret sur Loing
Details
Celebrate the return of sunny weather with an adventure just an hour south east of Paris but a world (and 700years) away!
Here between the Seine and the Loing rivers lies a string of historic villages on the ancient royal route to Paris - waypoints and fortified towns used by Kings since the 11th century!
Moret-sur-Loing is a picturesque such town - today just a satellite suburb of Fontainebleau but its imposing dungeon, church and more betray its more important past - you may even have seen paintings of it in famous museums by a resident English impressionist artist - Alfred Sisley.
Join us for a tour and explore its historic cobbled streets, followed by a walk along the river and a picnic by the banks with a chance to get your feet in the cool river.
