Discover our 4 Yvelines Lands
Land of tourist hotspots and hidden corners, historic sites and trendy places, ancient cities and new towns, bucolic countryside and urban landscapes…. In their own way, the Yvelines form a "little France", made up of 4 very distinct areas: Rambouillet the Real Thing, marked by authenticity and harmony; Versailles, the Sun of Yvelines, a showcase for the French art de vivre; The Seine runs through it, a land of leisure but also of innovation and inspiration for artists; and Green Chevreuse, a 'green' ecosystem in the heart of the valley.

The Seine is inextricably linked with Yvelines. What's more, the Seine is the artery of the département, with loops winding around its northern reaches. Discover the vantage points favoured by the Impressionist painters and indulge in a range of sporting activities on or along the river.

Véritable témoignage de l`architecture religieuse néo-classique, cette église, telle que nous la connaissons aujourd`hui, est construite entre 1766 et 1827, et composée de 8 chapelles.
Elle est la quatrième église construite sur le même emplacement que le petit prieuré d`origine.
Il s`agit bien sûr de ________ ?
