Discover Sancy-Lès-Meaux through several distinct themes: the Ru de Vaudessard flowing through farmland, the building history of the Church of Notre-Dame-de-l’Assomption, and regional products to sample. The Ferme de Mauperthuis and the La Catounière equestrian centre also offer their own starting points for planning your trip. You can shape your stay around the countryside, history, food or activities.

Countryside along the Ru de Vaudessard

A 2017 planning report describes the Ru de Vaudessard as a stream that rises east of Sancy’s town centre and crosses farmland from northeast to southwest. According to the report, it flows into the Grand Morin at Crécy-la-Chapelle. Its source, direction of flow and confluence provide a clear geographic framework for the stream. According to the report, wooded sections of its banks are visible in the landscape south of the RD228; hydrological and landscape conditions may change. The stream’s course through cultivated land and the visible wooded stretches along the water therefore represent different aspects of the local landscape. If you enjoy paying attention to landforms when you travel, these details offer concrete orientation: they take you from the reference point east of the town centre to the confluence at Crécy-la-Chapelle, while adding the stretches of riverbank south of the RD228 to the picture.

Church history and walking route

The Church of Notre-Dame-de-l’Assomption dates from the 13th century. It was rebuilt in 1719, and its portal was added in the 19th century. These dates distinguish its medieval origins, reconstruction and later addition. Rather than simply classifying the church as a historic building, you can explore its history through this sequence. The walking route “Randonnée au départ de l’église de Sancy les Meaux” starts at the church in Sancy. The church is therefore both a tangible link to the village’s history and the named starting point of the route. Check current conditions before setting off on a walk.

Visits and regional products

The Ferme de Mauperthuis welcomes individual visitors, groups and school classes for nature-focused or discovery visits. Its visitor programme offers another way to experience the area beyond its church and countryside, including for groups and school outings. Visitors can sample Tomme de Sancy and Triple Crème de Mauperthuis at the farm. These two named products give the culinary focus a specific form. Tastings and the visitor programme offer different emphases: one focuses on regional products, while the other offers nature-focused or discovery visits for the groups mentioned.

Horse-riding activities and choosing what suits you

A tourism listing dated 6 March 2023 mentions riding lessons at the La Catounière equestrian centre and a pony club for children aged six and over. The activities described differ in both type and age range. If you would like to include a horse-riding activity in your travel plans, check in advance whether it is currently offered.
