We are located in the town of La Ferté-Alais, which has been celebrated every year since 1970 by the Amicale Jean-Baptiste Salis, in collaboration with the Aéro-Club de France. This event offers a return to the roots of aviation with the theme "Fête Aérien" (Air Festival) at the Cerny-La Ferté-Alais airfield. For aviation enthusiasts, the Flying Museum, located in the Jean Salis museum hangar, alongside the Salis family, the Mémorial Flight, and several private individuals, displays its aircraft among one of the finest collections of historic planes in the world. This collection boasts 70 aircraft representing the epic history of aviation from its pioneers to the present day… and all in flying condition! These aircraft are on static display, but are also regularly taken out on sunny summer weekends to fly over Cerny or participate in various air shows. Since then, "Le Temps des Hélices" (The Time of Propellers), traditionally held at Pentecost, has become a must-see event in the European air show season, thanks to its impressive lineup of aircraft, ground demonstrations, and pyrotechnic display. A 10-minute walk away, you can discover: - The Grange aux Moines Educational Farm and a hiking trail. On the outskirts of La Ferté-Alais, the Grange aux Moines farm welcomes visitors with its animals on a nearly 12-hectare estate. Since June 2004, the Grange aux Moines farm has offered a reception hall for rent, an educational room, children's play areas, picnic and relaxation facilities, and numerous activities throughout the year. Schedules are posted on the blog. Having become a major tourist destination in Essonne, the Farm regularly welcomes schools and leisure centers from the Île-de-France region, delighting visitors of all ages. The Grange aux Moines Farm received the Île-de-France Tourism Grand Prize in 2005. HIKING TRAILS La Ferté-Alais, gateway to the Gâtinais region, has always been a starting point for hikes. It's true that our small town has many remarkable assets. Close to Paris (RER D) with its famous GR11 long-distance hiking trail along the banks of the Essonne River, the trails will fill you with joy and discovery. Along the hiking path, past sandstone quarries, near a field of hay or peas, or atop a sandpit, hikers can discover a region full of character. One of several itineraries is offered in collaboration with the town of La Ferté-Alais, the Gâtinais Regional Natural Park, and the French Hiking Federation (FFR): The La Ferté-Alais train station (RER D) is a 10-minute walk away, providing easy access to Paris. The town center and all its shops are also accessible on foot via a safe pedestrian path. You can also discover: THE WASH HOUSE Built in the mid-19th century to help curb the spread of major cholera epidemics that plagued the region, the wash house, which you can visit, was restored by young people from an international work camp, commissioned by the town council during the summers of 2002 and 2003; NOTRE DAME CHURCH Notre-Dame Church dates from the 11th and 12th centuries. It is a protected and listed site, recognized as a historical monument by Prosper Mérimée in 1862. Built on the site of the former 11th-century church (whose roof was supported by a wooden frame and which had neither a bell tower nor an apse), some small exterior buttresses remain. The modifications made did not affect the dimensions of the building but rather its height. The nave soars towards the sky, and the bell tower with its tall octagonal stone spire was constructed. These two phases of construction place Notre Dame among the exceptional buildings of the transition between Romanesque and early Gothic styles. A clock was discovered in the bell tower. It is of English manufacture and dates from the 15th and 16th centuries. NEARBY - The Soisy-sur-École Art Glassworks (12 km) - Courance Castle (12 km) - The Grand Avaux-Champcueil Forest for beautiful walks, and a well-deserved stop at La Chaumière du Télégraphe, an unusual pub-restaurant with glass roofs and a terrace surrounded by greenery—a must-visit for a meal or a drink.
