Mauregard: History of a Discovery and Travel Planning

Mauregard: History and Travel Planning

Mauregard offers several points of interest for travel planning: an archaeological discovery, the traditional Saint John’s Day celebration, and a bus connection listed in a timetable effective from 2023. If you are planning a hotel stay, these topics serve different purposes. The discovery and the festival tradition provide cultural reasons to visit, while the bus route plays a role in the practical details of getting there. This lets you first decide what will shape your stay, rather than mixing cultural interests with transport planning.

An Archaeological Find from Mauregard

The “Applique en forme de taureau” discovered in Mauregard has been dated to the period between 120 BC and AD 37. The French name can be rendered as “bull-shaped applique,” describing the object’s form. The date range spans the transition from BC to AD; it describes a period, not a single year of manufacture. Both limits are therefore important for the historical context: they establish that the find is dated to a time span. The specific object, its findspot, and its dating connect its archaeological history with Mauregard.

The Object at the Musée ARCHÉA

The “Applique en forme de taureau” is on display in the chronological permanent exhibition at the Musée ARCHÉA. This offers a second way to engage with the history of the find: the dating places the piece in time, while the exhibition presents it as part of a chronological sequence. Its current exhibition status is also relevant when considering a possible museum visit. Before your trip, check whether the object is still on display and plan your visit according to the latest information from the Musée ARCHÉA.

Saint John’s Day as a Traditional Celebration

The Saint John’s Day celebration, known in French as fête de la Saint-Jean, is part of Mauregard’s traditional heritage. The two names help identify the German and French terms for the same festive tradition. In contrast to the applique, the emphasis is different: the object is specifically defined by its findspot and dating, whereas Saint John’s Day provides a cultural connection as a traditional celebration. If you would like to visit Mauregard for Saint John’s Day, confirm the event date before booking.

Bus Route 9501 in the 2023 Timetable

In the timetable effective from 28 August 2023, the Mairie de Mauregard stop was served by bus route 9501. The route connected Gare de Roissypole at Paris-Charles-de-Gaulle Airport with Gare de Survilliers–Fosses via the Mairie de Mauregard stop. This means that both named railway stations and the stop in Mauregard were part of the same route. If you would like to use this connection, check the current timetable before setting out and make sure the direction you need matches your travel date.

The three topics serve different purposes in your planning: the archaeological find offers a specific historical theme, Saint John’s Day provides a connection to traditional heritage, and the timetable offers a starting point for planning your journey. This lets you weigh cultural interests and transport arrangements separately before finalizing the details of your stay.
