Thomery between the Forest of Fontainebleau and the Seine

Thomery lies on a hillside between the Forest of Fontainebleau and the Seine. If you are looking for a hotel in Thomery, you can plan your trip around the area’s distinctive features: the history of Église Saint-Amand, the Rosa Bonheur Museum-Studio, or the train service from the station.

History between Chasselas grapes and landmarks

The historic cultivation of Chasselas grapes shaped Thomery for more than two centuries. This long period adds an agricultural perspective to the history of its buildings. It differs from the precise dates given for the church and Chemin des Longs Sillons: it describes an ongoing local development rather than marking a single point in time.

At Église Saint-Amand, the choir and part of the nave are Gothic and date from the 12th century. The church has been classified as a historic monument since 1948. Chemin des Longs Sillons has been listed as a historic monument since 1993 and can be walked today. These details bring different historical references together: the 12th century dates the specified parts of the church, while 1948 and 1993 mark the monument designations for the church and the path. The path’s current accessibility adds a practical distinction from the information about the church’s construction date.

Rosa Bonheur: guided tours and tea room

The Rosa Bonheur Museum-Studio is located in a wing of Château de By. The studio, archives, and works by Rosa Bonheur housed there have been preserved and are open to visitors. A visit therefore focuses on the studio itself and the collections that have been preserved. Visits are guided and must be booked in advance. Make a reservation a firm part of your plans and check the operator’s booking system before your trip.

The tea room at Château de Rosa Bonheur is also open to visitors who do not have a museum ticket. Opening arrangements may change; check the information before your visit. This distinguishes the tea room from the studio: a visit to the studio requires advance booking, while access to the tea room does not require a museum ticket. You can therefore plan for the two offerings according to their different access requirements.

Getting there by train

Thomery station is served by trains on Transilien Line R to Paris-Gare de Lyon and Montargis. These give you two specific destinations to plan your train journey around. For your actual departure, the timetable on the day of travel is what matters, since schedules and services may change. So check connections before you travel. If you want to combine a hotel stay in Thomery with a train journey, include this check in your plans.
