Church and Maison-atelier: local history in detail

On the church square stands the Tilleul de la liberté (Liberty Lime Tree), planted during the Revolution. A decree dated 10 February 1913 designated the porch and entrance door of Église Saint-Georges as historic monuments. The tree’s historical context and the precise date of the decree make two distinct periods in the area’s history tangible.

The Maison-atelier de Félix Martin-Sabon adds the story of a particular house to the area’s history. Félix Martin-Sabon and Nathalie Martin-Sabon purchased the Maison-atelier on 3 October 1884; at the end of the 19th century, it was extended to become their summer residence. The purchase in 1884 and the later conversion into a summer residence were two separate historical steps. The studio is separate from the main building, faces north and stands opposite Église Saint-Georges. A large glass façade lets in light. Its connection to Église Saint-Georges can therefore be seen in two different ways: in the protection granted to the porch and entrance door, and in the studio’s location opposite the church.

Woodlands and natural features

The Bois de Ronquerolles covers about 28 hectares and lies approximately 2 kilometres north of the main section of the Bois de la Tour du Lay. The area figure describes the woodland, while the distance indicates its location relative to the named main section. The Bois de la Tour du Lay has a sunny limestone slope with a wide variety of insects and plants. These are different aspects of the landscape: the area and location of the Bois de Ronquerolles, and the limestone slope and the diversity of its plant and insect life at the Bois de la Tour du Lay.

Equestrian activities in Tuileries

Les Écuries de Ronquerolles is located at the edge of the forest in the hamlet of Tuileries in Ronquerolles and caters to horse owners and riders.
