History
The Tour de Ganne was built around 1127 and served as a keep in the defensive line of Île-de-France against Burgundy and Champagne. The old stone bridge, Vieux Pont de pierre, dates from the 12th century and has ten arches. It inspired artists from many countries, including Robert-Louis Stevenson.
The Prieuré in Grez-sur-Loing is an exhibition and event venue with a large park by the river. The church of Notre-Dame and Saint-Laurent dates from the late 12th century and remained unfinished because the choir was never built.
