Small town of Oise, along the road from Beauvais to Creil, Hermes takes place in the Beauvaisis, backed by the forest of Hez-Froidmont. It is located about twenty kilometers from Beauvais, not far from Noailles, Bresles and Hondainville.

Inhabited since the Neolithic, the territory of Hermes was formerly established in the bellovan country and occupied by the Romans following the conquest of Gaul by Julius Caesar. The city develops gradually in the Middle Ages under the influence of the Cistercian monks of the abbey of Froidmont, gradually taking the face that we know today.

Tourist town because of its proximity to some of the most beautiful sites in the region, Hermes itself has a beautiful heritage to discover.

Things to see and do

Listed as a historic monument, Saint-Vincent church is located in one of the oldest villages of Beauvaisis. The building dates in part from the eleventh century, but was greatly reworked in the eighteenth and nineteenth century. Portals, side windows and the aisle were added to the flamboyant Gothic period.

Also listed as an historic monument, Froidmont Abbey was founded in the first half of the 12th century. Then populated by twelve monks from Ourscamp, it reached its peak in the course of the thirteenth century. Heavily affected by the horrors of the Hundred Years War, it was sold as a national good under the French Revolution and almost completely demolished. You can still admire the surrounding wall, the remains of wine cellars and the press, and a tithe barn in ruins but classified as an historic monument.

While strolling in the town, you will also be able to admire the castle of La Trye and its park of more than six hectares, the town hall of the end of the XIXe century, the vault Notre-Dame of Bon-Secours, wash-houses, or a monolithic cross.

Hermes also offers to discover a collection of old agricultural equipment rue Dupille.
