Noordelijke verbinding EuroVelo 3 - Museum voor Prehistorie

The church Saint Jean-Baptiste is founded by Gautier 1st of Nemours in 1170 to receive a relic of the saint. It is composed of a 12th century tower-porch and a nave raised in the 17th century.It now houses the neo-Gothic high altar dedicated to Saint John the Baptist, a Piétà sculpture made in 1869 by Sanson (local artist of the 19th century), an organ dating from 1653 and the bell "Philippe" dedicated in 1672 to Philippe Duc d'Orléans, brother of Louis 14th, became Duke of Nemours. The church is classified as a historical monument since 1977.

A building that is particularly well conserved from the second half of the 12th century, the Nemours chateau has escaped several demolition projects.Originally the main part of the defences of the medieval city, it was transformed in the 15th century by the Duke of Armagnac then in the 17th century by the Duke of Orleans. Finally, and the beginning of the 20th century, a group of local artists led by Justin-Chrysostome Sanson (1833 – 1910) started the restoration of the old chateau. Reorganised from 1972, the collections include pieces of Gallo-Roman and Merovingian archaeology, sculptures and religious works and examples of popular arts and traditions. A particular place has been set aside for everywhere from the revolutionary period, nineteenth century paintings and sculptures and twentieth century stamps.

Open to the public since 1981, the museum shows the prehistory of the Paris region in a building by the architect Roland Simounet.Opening up onto a wooded park and a rocky massif, the rooms are organised around for interior gardens that reconstitute the flora of the quartenary period in the Ile de France. This museum, which was recently listed as a "Historical Monument of the 20th Century", presents the Prehistory and the Protohistory of the Paris region, from the appearance of man to Gallo-Roman times. There are two possible visits. The first circuit, for educational visits, presents the daily life of Palaeolithic age hunters, farmers and breeders in the Neolithic period and then an introduction to bronze and iron metalworking. The circuit can then be completed with a second one dedicated to archaeological sites, stratigraphic geology and comparative typology of tools. A 20 minutes audio-visual presentation is made in interaction with the Pincevent archaeological ground moulding. Guided tours and workshops available for school groups daily except Wednesdays: learning to use tools, fire, throwing sticks. Themed workshops for single-class school groups: themes: habitat, food, fire, and tools. Special programmes scheduled on events days.
