Aufferville brings together Neolithic remains, architectural and local history, and insights into production and regional products. The Neolithic polishing stones, known as the Aufferville/Maison Rouge polishing stones, are located on the border between Aufferville and Faÿ-lès-Nemours. In the village, you will also find the Église Saint-Martin, crosses marking the sites of former village gates, and agricultural offerings. These different highlights can help you decide what interests you most during a stay: historical context, sacred art or local food.

Polishing Stones, Church and Crosses

The polishing stones’ name refers to Aufferville and Maison Rouge; their location is also associated with Faÿ-lès-Nemours. This is a distinct local connection within the area’s history. The Église Saint-Martin represents a different period: it was built in the 12th century in a style typical of the Gâtinais and has been listed as a Monument historique since 1926. Its apse contains an 18th-century altarpiece. The church’s construction date, later furnishings and lasting protected status can therefore be considered as distinct aspects, rather than being grouped under a single date.

The crosses in the village centre and in the hamlets of Maison Rouge and Morville also tell the story of the village’s former layout: they mark the sites of former village gates. This sets them apart from the Croix Saint-Pierre in the church square. It is 3.5 metres high and dates from the 12th century. In exploring Aufferville’s history, you will encounter several points of reference: Neolithic polishing stones, traces of former village gates and a named medieval cross. Each detail has its own historical or local connection.

Regional Products and Agriculture

La Petite Ferme’s shop is in the centre of Aufferville. It offers organic fruit and vegetables, as well as regional products such as honey and bread. La Petite Ferme also sells seasonal vegetables from certified organic production. If you are visiting for particular products, check what is currently available in advance: the vegetables are seasonal, and product availability may change. This will help you adjust your shopping expectations to the time of year and the selection on offer.

Ferme de Filbois keeps sheep, poultry and rabbits. The animals are raised both for production and for visitors to enjoy. This gives the farm a different focus from the shop: here, animal husbandry and its role in production and visitor experiences are at the heart of things, while the shop focuses on buying fruit, vegetables and regional products. If you are planning a visit to the farm, ask about visiting options in advance. No specific programs or opening hours are implied.

Which Focus Suits Your Trip?

For culture enthusiasts, the historical highlights span several periods: the polishing stones are Neolithic; the church and the Croix Saint-Pierre date from the 12th century; and the altarpiece is from the 18th century. The church was listed as a Monument historique in 1926. The crosses at the former village gates add another perspective on the area’s historic layout. If you are more interested in regional food and agriculture, La Petite Ferme’s shop and Ferme de Filbois offer a different focus.
