How about a trip to Les Vaux de Cernay for the Journées du Patrimoine? In the heart of the Vallée de Chevreuse, this historic little mill awaits us with a lovely program.
Do you know the history of this exceptional place? Originally named the Hotton Mill in 1207, this building, remodeled in 1586, has evolved over the years. From mill to inn, it has seen the passage of centuries.
Today, it offers visitors a museum dedicated to several facets of the Vaux de Cernay heritage: the evocation of the miller's activity, the formidable geological history of the area and, above all, the indelible imprint of the colony of landscape painters. These artists, armed with their tubes of paint, settled here to capture the raw beauty of this landscape, where sandstone rocks, damp valleys and steep slopes mingle.
