Tips from the Community
The church of Saint-Martin-aux-Bois stands on the site of the former abbey on which it depended, which no longer exists. Only a few vestiges remain, including the Galata, a former hostelry that has become private property. From the rampart walk, the outline of the enclosure and the location of the monastic buildings can still be seen, while the apse of the church has recently undergone major restoration work.

Nestled between the church and the village, the Étournelles vegetable garden in Breuil-le-Sec, created in 1851 by landscaper Louis-Sulpice Varé, retains the charm of its original English-style garden. Behind its high walls, eight squares bordered by boxwood are planted with vegetables, fruits, and flowers in a perfect balance between aesthetics and production. Maintained continuously for over 160 years, this rare, nourishing garden has been listed in the Inventory of Historic Monuments since 2004.

The chapel is located about 1 km north of Cernoy, at the entrance to the hamlet of Trois-Étots. The chapel is built in red brick with white stone accents and dates from the early 16th century. It is noteworthy that the construction of the chapel was probably simultaneous with that of the southeastern part of the nearby castle of Trois-Étots. Inside, the chapel has a single nave with three bays, closed by a three-sided choir. Noteworthy are the three cylindrical columns between each bay, which rest on a semicircular base. The windows have Gothic tracery and contain two types of windows: some have two central mullions opening into smaller windows, while others have three equal windows with an acute angle. There are inscriptions on the capitals of the pillars, one of which mentions the year 1544, which is probably the year the chapel was built.
