Église Saint-Rémy and the history of Le Plessis

The Église Saint-Rémy provides a distinctive cultural focus. It has been classified as a Monument historique by decree since 5 May 1930. Its west façade features a remarkable Renaissance portal created at the beginning of the 16th century. A religious building is believed to have stood at the Église Saint-Rémy since the 11th century, initially as a priory church dependent on the Benedictine Abbey of Coulombs.

The remains of the medieval fortress are visible today in Le Plessis. In 1152, a fortress in the form of a medieval motte with a bailey was built in Le Plessis to protect against the English and the Normans. Together with the Renaissance portal and the Église Saint-Rémy, this creates a cultural dimension that complements days spent in nature with historical discoveries.

When choosing between a holiday apartment and a holiday house, you can use your desired mix of landscape, exercise, history and water as your guide. If the Avre, Peluche, riverside paths, park and Beauce are to be the focus, the emphasis is on nature and activity. If the Renaissance portal, medieval fortress or aquatics centre are more important, culture and water move to the foreground. This provides an objective guide for different family plans without reducing Saint-Rémy-sur-Avre to just one type of holiday.
