The trail
Follow in the footsteps of the masters through the heart of Villiers-sur-Morin. The trail invites you on a sensory stroll where history unfolds before your eyes. Thanks to augmented reality, see the landscape as it was immortalised on canvas and step into the creative intimacy of the artists who shaped the soul of the village. Between contemplation and immersion, past and present merge for the length of a walk.
