; The church of Évry-the-Castles:

the oldest monuments which mention Évry it call Everiacum without one being able to give a satisfactory etymology of this name. He is written in the public acts of the 16th century Esury or Esvry . One still called it in 1692 Esvry or Esury ; in Brie it carried for the first time the title of Évry-the-Castles only in 1701.

the church of Évry existed as of the end of the 12th century or at the latest at the beginning of 13th; at least certain parts are of this time like the chorus and the tower; the remainder is more modern.

; The castle of Grégy-on-Yerre:

Grégy, alias Gragy, Gratiacum, Graiacum, formerly parish of the deanery of Old man-Corbeil. One made come the name from Grégy of that of a Roman named Gratus, from where it is claimed that one made Grajacum, then Graji; but one should not give to these forced etymologies more importance than they do not deserve any. It is mention of Grégy in pouillé of the diocese of Paris of the 13th century, and a letter of Thibault, bishop of Paris, year 1150, confirms to the priory of Saint Martin's day the dîme of this place.

Of the time of Philippe de Valois lived a Jean, lord of Grégy.

the village of Grégy is located at the Western end of a plain, on a kind of headland formed by the river of Yerres and by the small brook of Cornillot which comes from Brie-Count-Robert to be thrown in Yerres at this place, beside the royal road of Paris to Geneva by Melun, with three miles north of this last city, to a small southern mile of Brie-Count-Robert. Its population is of one hundred thirty inhabitants; its territory is out of arable lands, in meadows and in Vigne S. Grégy is on a small eminence, whose bottom is sprinkled with a side by the river of Yerres, in the seasons when it ran ground as by lower part above, and the other side by the brook of Cornillot, which comes from Brie-Count-Robert, and which in this place discharges in the bed from the river from Yerres; it is what that there are two bridges below this village. There are many vines on this parish, with the favor of the different slopes. The stone to be built is not rare there. Saint-Pierre was the owner of the church of this place, which could have three to four hundred years of masonry, and did not have anything remarkable but some inscriptions. The gate was supported about midday by a square tower which still remains. Oldest fall placed at the entry of the chorus was engraved in capital Gothic letters; it undoubtedly came from the old church, because, with the way in which it was cut, being narrower with the feet than towards the head, it was to be end of the 13th century, or beginning of the following.
