The Maison du Grand-Voyeux is open to the public two days a week, with the aim of helping visitors discover the Grand-Voyeux while preserving biodiversity and the balance of the ecosystems. A discovery trail and observatories allow visitors to discover the incredible landscapes of the site and the multitude of bird species that have found refuge there.

Legend has it that the City of Coulommiers takes its name from Julius Caesar himself. The latter is said to have named the small Gallic village seen along the Grand Morin when he conquered the gaules castrum columbarium. Today, this name, known internationally for its eponymous cheese, is a place full of sometimes unknown stories. It was in the Middle Ages that the Coulommiers counts of Champagne settled in Coulommiers, bringing with them the Templars and fellow tanners from the City of Troyes. To set up their industry, the latter created small canals or brassets on the Grand Morin. Today, built around these rivers, the city has, thanks to them, the charm of the cities nicknamed "little Venice". Coulommiers can also boast 4 monuments protected as Historic Monuments: Commanderie des Templiers, Théâtre à l'italienne, Ruins of the Parc des Capucins, Notre-Dame-des-Anges church, Former Prison converted into a library.
