History

Maurepas is home to several clearly identifiable testimonies to the town's history. The Church of Saint-Sauveur was rebuilt in the 11th century using millstone and features a two-bay Romanesque choir and a three-bay nave. Of the two large bells commissioned in 1659 for Saint-Sauveur by Marie de Rohan, Duchess of Chevreuse, one is still in the bell tower today. The surviving part of Maurepas's feudal keep is approximately 20 metres high.

Nature

A walk around the Mare aux Biches reveals a wetland that testifies to the biodiversity of the municipality of Maurepas. At the Bassin de la Courance, the discovery trail includes a listening trumpet, an observation telescope and interactive elements for learning about the tree species found there.

South of the Bassin de la Courance, there is a fitness trail near the car park. The banks of the Bassin de la Courance are designed for walks, sporting activities and recreation.

Cycling

The mountain-bike route “Parcours sportifs à VTT de Maurepas à Pontchartrain” follows small paths through typical, rather unassuming villages and continues towards the hill of Pontchartrain. The Forêt domaniale de Maurepas is also located along the same route, a vast forest area with numerous tree species as well as animal and plant species in its wilder areas.

Culture

At the Royal Channel in Maurepas, examples of boundary stones bearing the names “Borne 7”, “Le long des rigoles” and “La Marnière” are mentioned.

The Café de la Plage is a cultural venue for concerts, exhibitions and comedy events and supports artists through residencies, coaching and training. At the same time, the Café de la Plage promotes local artists and offers exhibitions as well as artistic formats such as educational jam sessions, the Festival des Studios and Cobalt stage events.
