Melun Travel guide
Melun : Michelin's recommendations
Founded on an island on the River Seine, Meclodunum became Melun and enjoyed its time of glory when the castle of Robert the Pious was given to the «royal widows»; some of them were to found abbeys in the region, others annoyed their sovereign son to the extent that he besieged the city!
The Brie region, east of Melun, is a mixture of forest and pasture land: this is where the renowned Brie cheese originated.
