The Seine-et-Marne département plays the game, inviting us to discover both unmissable nuggets and little-known places. In the town of Couilly-Pont-Aux-Dames, strollers can conquer the Maison de Retraite des Artistes, classified as a Remarkable Ile-de-France Heritage Site and built at the request ofactor Constant Coquelin in 1903. Designed by Art Nouveau architectRené Binet, the building stands on the site of a former abbey, and features a bucolic park well worth a visit.
