Grand Morin valley, known as the "Valley of the Painters" inspired many well-known 19th-century painters, including Toulouse-Lautrec, Van Gogh and Corot. The delightful villages of Crécy-la-Chapelle and Villiers-sur-Morin, nestling on the banks of the peaceful river dotted with lavoirs (old wash houses) and mills, are particularly picturesque and photogenic, and a must for walkers and art fans. An art trail waymarked with easels explores the various locations that inspired the artists.
