Medieval churches of Brie - Paroy, Donnemarie and Dontilly

From Donnemarie-Dontilly to Montereau-Fault-Yonne in Bassée-Montois
Twenty-fourth stage of the Grand Tour of Île-de-France via the GR®11, starting from Donnemarie-Dontilly after spending the night there at the end ofthe previous stage. This stage connects the Montois region to the Seine Valley and Montereau-Fault-Yonne, the confluence of the Seine and Yonne rivers. It thus transitions from an agricultural landscape to a marshland landscape in the valley, ending in a more urban environment.
From Longueville to Donnemarie-Dontilly through the Montois
Twenty-third stage of the Grand Tour of Île-de-France via the GR®11, and the first of a series of two stages, including this one, needed to connect the Longueville and Montereau stations, through the Montois and the Seine Valley.For this first stage of the diptych, we suggest spending the night in a bed and breakfast in Donnemarie-Dontilly, roughly halfway between the two stations, after a beautiful crossing of the Montois, in a landscape that is a little more varied and hilly than the Brie just to the north.
Medieval churches of Brie: Lourps and Chalmaison along the Voulzie
