Bike Tour from Moret-sur-Loing to Bourron-Marlotte

 

 

We start in the walled medieval village of Moret-sur-Loing. Moret is a charming medieval village idyllically situated on the banks of the Loing River. Some medieval ramparts, gates and buildings still remain and it maze of tiny cobbled lanes will delight you as we bike through them. Moret was also the residence of the painter Alfred Sisley and the residence of a 17th century nun known as The Black Nun of Moret, whose mysterious connection to Louis XIV is a source of intrigue among historians.
