Anecdote
The village of Faremoutiers takes its name from an abbey founded around 620 by Saint Fare, daughter of the count of Meaux, who had converted after meeting Saint Columbanus: « Faremoutiers » means « the monastery of Fare ». It was the first double monastery in France. Burned in 1140 and dispersed in 1792, the abbey was re-established by Benedictine nuns in 1930, and the heart of the princesse de Clèves has been kept there since 1684.
