Discover Silly-Tillard

A stay in Silly-Tillard can appeal for a range of reasons: hiking trails lead to named buildings and a stream, a cycling route passes through the village, and there is also historic architecture and an immersive detective game. When choosing a hotel for your trip, it helps to distinguish between these themes: first decide whether you would rather spend your time hiking, cycling, exploring architectural history or enjoying a culinary experience. The details below offer specific points to help you decide.

Hiking trails with different features

Hiking trail 503, “De Ponchon à Tillard,” is a circular route. It is listed as taking 2 hours and 15 minutes, with an ascent of 75 metres. Duration and elevation gain are two different planning considerations. As route conditions may change, check the details before setting out.

Hiking trail 510, “Sur les traces de la seconde guerre mondiale,” is 9.6 kilometres long and takes around 3 hours. It passes through Silly-Tillard and explores the history of the Second World War in Coudray-sur-Thelle. By comparison, trail 503 is described as a circular route with an ascent. These details help you distinguish the routes by their stated features: duration and theme for trail 510, and circular route and elevation gain for trail 503.

On the “De Ponchon à Tillard” hiking trail, a small bridge crosses the Ru du Sillet to the Chapelle Saint-Blaise. Here, the trail, stream crossing and chapel are linked in a specific way. If you want to choose a walk based on a named building and a distinctive spot along the way, this connection is a useful point to consider.

A cycling route through Silly-Tillard

Cycling route 192, “Entre Vallée du Thérain et Val du Sillet,” is 39.8 kilometres long and passes through Silly-Tillard. The overall distance is therefore the key detail for this route, whereas the hiking trails also include information about duration, whether the route is circular and the ascent. These differences can help you interpret the route details in light of the activity you have planned.

Church and chapel: architectural features and an artwork

The Church of Saint-Martin in Silly-Tillard consists of a single-nave hall with seven bays and ends in a three-sided polygonal apse. The nave is the church’s long main space; the bays divide it into sections. The three-sided apse forms the end of the building. These specific architectural features give you a more precise impression of the church’s architecture, rather than simply describing it as a historic building.

The Chapelle Saint-Blaise de Tillard was designated a historic monument in 1909. The chapel also contains a polychrome wooden reliquary bust of a bishop. Polychrome means decorated in several colours; as a reliquary bust, the object combines a depiction of a bishop with the function of a reliquary. The monument designation and the artwork offer different points of interest for a stay focused on architectural and art history.

A detective game and local products

The Explore Game Silly-Tillard is an immersive investigation inspired by the real history of Silly-Tillard. It ends with a tasting of products from Salaisons du Val-Sillet. The game thus combines historical inspiration with a culinary finale. Availability may change; check before including it in your plans.

Another culinary attraction is L’Autre Saison in Silly-Tillard. The business makes traditional artisanal preserves from fresh seasonal fruit, without additives, and cooks them in a copper cauldron. This differs from the game’s tasting: that features products from Salaisons du Val-Sillet, while L’Autre Saison is known for the preserves described here. Product availability may change.
