La Selle-en-Hermoy: Walking Routes, Church and Markets

La Selle-en-Hermoy offers several practical starting points for planning a stay: two walking routes begin at the Maison des Associations, the Église Saint-Pierre-aux-Liens has a clearly defined architectural layout, and markets add to the calendar throughout the year. If you are looking for a hotel, you can plan your stay around whether the routes, the church or a market date is your main focus. These different themes give you a concrete basis for deciding when to visit and what to focus on.

Walking routes with different points of interest

Both walking routes begin at the Maison des Associations in La Selle-en-Hermoy. The Circuit de La Plaine des Bourses passes through wooded areas and orchards before returning to the village. The Circuit de la Fricotte also starts there and follows the D35 in La Selle-en-Hermoy, passing the Chapelle Saint Anne. The routes can therefore be distinguished by their named points of interest: the Plaine des Bourses route focuses on woodland, orchards and the return to the village, while the Fricotte route features the chapel along the D35. When choosing between the routes, you can consider whether you prefer the landscapes of woodland and orchards or the chapel as a specific waypoint.

Church architecture and history

The Église Saint-Pierre-aux-Liens consists of a nave and a slightly narrower choir. A very slender bell tower stands where the two meet. The porch is on the west side, and the sacristy is at the east end of the choir. When looking at the building, you can note the differences in width and the position of the tower; the porch and sacristy add two other specific architectural features to the description. Historical traces dating from the 8th century are among La Selle-en-Hermoy’s points of interest. For safety reasons, an order has been issued to close the Église to the public. Check access conditions before visiting.

Markets and local amenities

The annual flea market takes place in July. In November, a recurring arts and crafts market offers the chance to discover and buy locally handmade items. If one of these markets is the reason for your trip, check the flea market date for the current year or the arts and crafts market programme. There is also a bakery and patisserie on the church square.

Planning your accommodation and journey

For motorhome travellers, the municipal parking area is behind the church. It has space for three motorhomes and allows a free overnight stay. Check the latest service details before arrival. One way to reach La Selle-en-Hermoy is to travel via Montargis station and then continue by REMI coach. Check timetables and connections before setting off, especially if you are planning your stay around a market date. This lets you take the event date and onward journey into account in the same plan.
