ST. PETER'S CHURCH
Restoration work has now been completed on the massive square tower, 47 m tall, over a Renaissance style dome. The southern arrow has also been renovated, highlighting the flamboyant Gothic side of this part. It is this contrast between two styles that makes the charm of this rather unusual building that has recovered from its superb. The other characteristic is the trace of graffiti from German soldiers from the beginning of 1944, they are scattered in a few corners. Since its disaffection after the Revolution, the church has had unexpected vocations, becoming a fodder store, a chicory factory, a cavalry district, and then a covered market. The next episode was tragic. In 1974, a plane crashed a few kilometers from the city, in Ermenonville Forest. The church was then used as a burning chapel in tribute to the 346 people who lost their lives in this accident. Once this history has been tragic, the building has become a beautiful cultural place with pleasure for local event organizers.
