Discover Rozay-en-Brie

If you’re looking for a hotel in Rozay-en-Brie, you can plan your trip around two distinct areas of interest: historic buildings and opportunities to spend time outdoors. For those interested in cultural history, the Église Notre-Dame, the Grandes Orgues and Porte de Gironde offer specific points of interest. If you want to hike or explore the Bundesweiher ponds, you’ll find separate destinations, with different information on routes, area and access.

Church, organ and town gate

The Église Notre-Dame in Rozay-en-Brie has been classified as a historic monument since 1862. The Grandes Orgues de Rozay-en-Brie is a French Baroque organ dating from the 17th century. These dates refer to different things: 1862 marks the church’s classification, while the 17th century is the period to which the organ belongs. A dated protected status and an instrument from the Baroque period thus represent distinct aspects of the cultural heritage.

Porte de Gironde is also one of the town’s historic landmarks: it is a town gate in Rozay-en-Brie and was classified as a historic monument by decree dated August 20, 1935. Together with the church, it highlights a clear difference between the classification dates: 1862 is given for the Église Notre-Dame, and the 1935 decree for Porte de Gironde. The Grandes Orgues, in turn, add a musical connection to the 17th century to these details about the buildings.

Hiking along the Yerres

The “Rozay-en-Brie & la vallée de l’Yerres” walking trail is rated as moderately difficult. Along the route, you cross the Yerres several times; the river is designated a Natura 2000 site for European environmental protection. This gives you a specific hike to enjoy and a river that also has a designated protected status.

If you’re planning to spend time outdoors, you can make this hike a separate item on your itinerary and consult the current route description for details. The multiple crossings of the Yerres are a specific feature of the route, while its Natura 2000 status indicates the river’s protected status.

The Bundesweiher ponds and access

The Bundesweiher ponds in Rozay-en-Brie cover 4.2 hectares, of which 2.4 hectares are water. These figures distinguish the total area of the site from its water surface. From the N4, you can reach the ponds by vehicle via the Route de Bernay. There is a car park for anglers; from there, the site is accessible only on foot. This access information is important when planning: traveling by vehicle and getting around the site are two separate stages.

Only the fishing spots and access routes are maintained. Some areas are left uncultivated to promote biodiversity. Both maintained access points and deliberately uncultivated areas are therefore part of the site’s design. This makes the ponds different from a uniformly maintained recreational area: maintenance is focused on specific spots, while other areas are intended to promote biodiversity. Before your visit, confirm the current condition of the access routes if this information is important for your plans.

Plan your bus journey

A route overview updated in June 2025 lists Transdev line 10 on the Courpalay–Gare de Marles route. For Rozay-en-Brie, it lists line 21 between Rozay-en-Brie and Gare de Tournan-en-Brie, and line 24 between Rozay-en-Brie and Gare de Melun. Lines 21 and 24 are thus assigned to the two routes explicitly connected with Rozay-en-Brie. Check the current timetable before setting off so that your travel plans match the available routes and times.

Information about routes, access and bus connections helps you consider the questions relevant to planning your stay separately.
