Travel Guide Gesvres

Gesvres is from these small communes that deserve the loafer to stop there because the curiosities abound there! There is the Romanesque church of the 1870 th century (sorry for it!), the old washing machine powered by an inexhaustible source, the "Five stones" bridge, the carved lintel of the th century, the cross of which evokes a of the Gesvrois and Gesvroises against the Prussian invader (during the bloody battle of the Oak-Pole), chapels in the Bourg and Saint-Saint.-Etienne and, on the road leading to Averton, the Col de Saint-Sulpice (the sarcophagus of the same name is in the church). In this village, the most illustrious child was Léon Potter (1620-1704), the first Gentlemen of the King's House and Governor of Paris, a city that retains the memory of the Potter family through its famous «wharf de Gesvres».
