Things to see and do

Listed as a historic monument, the church of the Nativity of the Virgin Mary takes place at La Chapelle-Monthodon. Built in the 13th century, it has a simple nave without aisles, and is a fine example of the Gothic style. The church Saint-Agnan, registered with the Historical Monuments, also deserves a detour. It reveals elements of the twelfth, thirteenth and sixteenth centuries.

Also classified as an historic monument, the Saint-Barthélémy church takes place in Baulne-en-Brie. It has one of the last ceilings in wood crippled slats thwarted the world.

Hiking enthusiasts can take the GR14 that runs through the town, while the youngest will appreciate the playground with its picnic tables on the banks of the river. The Bois de Condé is also ideal for a family walk or a romantic stroll.

La Chapelle-Monthodon is crossed by the circuit of fables of the canton of Condé-en-Brie. It is possible to admire a washhouse representing the rooster and the fox. An explanatory booklet is available at the Tourist Office of Condé-en-Brie.
