Saint-Maur Médiéval returns to Parc de l’Abbaye in Saint-Maur-des-Fossés for a weekend of free shows, workshops and activities on May 30 and 31, 2026. Want to travel back in time? A host of demonstrations, hands-on workshops and a craft market promise plenty of discoveries.
Built around 1850 in the heart of the Saint-Maur-des-Fossés Abbey Park, Villa Bourières is a neo-Renaissance residence that stands as a iconic fixture along the Marne River. Nearly lost to time, this historic villa has a story marked by near destruction and survival. Here’s a look at the tumultuous journey of a property that narrowly escaped demolition.
In the town of Saint-Maur-des-Fossés lies a little gem, an ancient abbey founded in 639, of which only the ruins remain today, and which can be admired on guided tours organized by the Société d'histoire et d'archéologie de Saint-Maur.
