Step beyond Paris into the medieval Episcopal City of Meaux, where the Gothic cathedral of Saint-Etienne rises above the main square with five carved portals and a rare wooden bell tower. The Maison du Brie de Meaux reveals the centuries-old craft behind France's celebrated King of Cheeses, while the Musee Bossuet, housed in a 12th-century bishop's palace, showcases art from the Renaissance to the Barbizon school. A stroll through the adjacent Bossuet Garden, its boxwood parterres shaped like a bishop's mitre, follows ancient Gallo-Roman ramparts before the day's centrepiece: Europe's largest museum dedicated to the First World War, built on the very site where the Battle of the Marne halted the German advance in 1914. Both the Musee Bossuet and the Museum of the Great War are closed on Tuesdays.
