Sainte-Colombe-près-Vernon: Holiday apartments and holiday homes

The parish church of Sainte-Colombe is located in La Colombignière on the road from Sainte-Colombe to Champenard. The existence of a first church in Sainte-Colombe-près-Vernon has been documented since the early 11th century. The present church was rebuilt in the 19th century over an older building, whose choir has been preserved.

Culture

The village’s former washhouse, located at La Colombinière, is also part of the historic townscape. It was completely restored by volunteers. The restoration received an award in a competition for municipalities at the Académie d’Architecture de Paris.

The houses and farmhouses in the municipality are often enclosed and some have covered gateways with tiled roofs. They were predominantly built between the 18th and early 20th centuries from limestone and bricks. The old bridge in Sainte-Colombe-près-Vernon dates from the early 19th century.

Anyone wishing to rent a holiday apartment in Sainte-Colombe-près-Vernon can plan a stay amid a historic townscape, a pond and a circular trail.
