The pretty and historic village of Moret-sur-Loing is situated quite close to the famous Chateau de Fontainebleau and is well worth a visit it its own right. At the visitors center you will see a bust of the famous English Impressionist artist Alfred Sisley, who spent most of his life painting in and around the village.

As you walk along the Grande Rue, you can admire the two remaining medieval towers and imagine what the village looked like a few hundred years ago, when at least 20 towers and half a mile of fortified walls protected it. You can easily walk to the pleasant historic village center to see ancient architecture adorned with intricate stonework and then visit the Church of Notre Dame, the Museum of Barley Sugar Sweets, and the Bike Museum.
