Culture and History
The present-day Saint-Maurice Church stands on a site where a church has existed since the 11th century. Its current structure was created through reconstruction at the end of the 17th century.
The Maison natale d’Eugène Delacroix is an 18th-century hôtel particulier and the birthplace of the painter Eugène Delacroix. Its rear façade preserves 19th-century elements, including wrought-iron balconies. Today, the building houses the municipal media library.
The Hôpital Esquirol was remodelled in the 19th century; its façades and roofs are inspired by Italian architecture. The complex is arranged around courtyards, terraces and sloping ramps lined with colonnades.
The Saints-Anges Church was built in the 1930s for the Gravelle district and has a reinforced-concrete structure. Its geometric red-brick decorations are inspired by Byzantine art and its iconography.
The former Hôpital National de Saint-Maurice was built under Napoleon III as a convalescent asylum for men to treat workers who had been injured at construction sites for the Haussmann projects. The Moulin de la Chaussée is the only surviving mill structure from the milling activity that was once widespread along the banks of the Marne; it includes structural elements from the 17th and 19th centuries.
Cycling Route and Structures by the Water
The Route A Vélo dans la Vallée leads to Saint-Maurice via Rue du Maréchal Leclerc and then follows a cycle path towards the Saints-Anges Church. It also runs via Place de l’Ecluse to Quai de Bir-Hakeim, where it follows the canal.
The old Saint-Maurice / Maisons-Alfort weir was built in 1910; the new structure, rebuilt in 1998, is fully automated. The Saint-Maurice / Maisons-Alfort lock is 125 metres long and 12 metres wide and enables boat traffic.
