Hotels in Voisins-Le-Bretonneux

Several themes come together when planning a trip to Voisins-le-Bretonneux: religious architectural history, cultural venues, landscaped gardens, and cycling and walking routes. For your planning, it helps to consider these separately. The church and Chamfleury offer historical points of interest; Maison Decauville and other venues add cultural highlights. La Croix du Bois and the Bois et étang de la Garenne each have their own landscape features.

Church, architecture and local history

The church in Voisins has three stone-vaulted bays with pointed arches. Its construction history can be put in context without conflating the different dates: the parish of Voisins is documented as part of the Diocese of Paris from the 14th century, while the church is estimated to have been completed in the 16th century. The tomb of Pierre Gilbert is located in its seigneurial chapel. If you would like to see the tomb or the architecture inside, check access before your visit.

Chamfleury also offers a distinct perspective on local history. The district in Voisins-le-Bretonneux is one of the oldest so-called new districts of Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines and is considered a model village of detached houses. Another historical point of reference is the manor of the Seigneurie of Voisins: it became a royal farmstead and was leased by the administrators of the royal estate. Thus, a district described as a model and the former role of a seigneurial estate stand side by side as distinct historical themes.

Cultural venues and events

The Maison Decauville complex was restored and inaugurated in 2012. It includes the Grange aux sons, a venue devoted entirely to music. The exhibition space at Maison Decauville hosts biennials of painting and sculpture, as well as solo exhibitions by amateur and professional artists. Exhibitions and dates may change; if you are planning your stay around a particular date, check the current programme.

La Cour Decauville is a meeting place for artists and visitors. The Salle de la Tour hosts activities run by partner associations in theatre, music, opera and magic. The Médiathèque Antoine-de-Saint-Exupéry holds cultural events several times a year. The cultural offerings mentioned here therefore range from specific performing arts activities to events held several times a year. If a performance or a particular offering is important to your plans, check the current dates.

Gardens, landscapes and routes

La Croix du Bois combines a symmetrical garden with terraced grounds and groups of trees. The rose garden features a wide variety of roses. Garden enthusiasts can therefore find a range of landscape design features: the symmetrical layout, terraces and groups of trees on the one hand, and the variety of roses on the other.

The Bois et étang de la Garenne includes woodland and a pond. A municipal environmental report dated 21 December 2015 lists walking and outdoor sports among the area's uses. As conditions may change, check them before your visit.
