Lésigny: Forest, Heritage and Golf

Lésigny is a destination for travelers who want to make forests, architectural history or golf the focus of their stay. Forêt Notre-Dame, Château de Lésigny, Église Saint-Yon and Golf du Réveillon each offer a different way to experience the area. If you’re looking for a hotel in Lésigny, it helps to first decide whether nature, historic architecture or golf is the main consideration in your travel plans.

Forêt Notre-Dame and the GR 14

Forêt Notre-Dame borders Lésigny and is a 2,200-hectare state forest. Around twenty ponds have been recorded in its undergrowth. The forest’s protection has been further strengthened through its acquisition by the state and a recent designation. Part of the GR 14 passes through Forêt Notre-Dame near Lésigny. If you plan to include this trail, check the route markings and access in advance.

Château and Église Saint-Yon

Château de Lésigny was built during the Renaissance on the site of a medieval fortress surrounded by moats. This links the architectural history of the Renaissance building with an older fortified site. The château is no longer inhabited; it serves as a reception venue and a filming location for film and television productions. It is regularly opened to visitors as part of Heritage Days. Check current visiting dates before your trip.

Église Saint-Yon stands out for its specific architectural features: it has 16th-century door leaves and an octagonal bell tower with a spire. In 1523, the church was consecrated by François de Poncher, son of Louis de Poncher and Bishop of Paris. The consecration date adds a historical reference point to the architecture and gives the church its own distinct focus alongside the Château’s architectural history.

Golf, hiking and ponds

Golf du Réveillon covers 100 hectares and has three different golf courses: an 18-hole course, a 9-hole course and a compact 9-hole course. There is also a practice facility. The differences in hole count and layout help you plan the golf portion of your trip in more detail. The course configuration may change; check the current details in advance.

La marche de Gaïa is a guided storytelling walk that combines walking, scientific knowledge, thoughtful exchange and a poetic perspective. Program details may change, so check current announcements. There are fishing ponds along the Ru du Réveillon. If you plan to visit them, check fishing rules and access options in advance; both may change.

Getting there and finding a hotel

The RN 104 (La Francilienne) provides road access to Lésigny and helps you plan your journey.
