 Saint-Mathurin de Larchant, a property of the chapter of Notre-Dame de Paris since 1005, was rebuilt beginning in 1153, and the church became a popular pilgrimage site, which Harry Bailey, host of the Tabard Inn of Chaucer's "Canterbury Tales" was recalling, when he swore "by that precious corpus Madrian".Both Louis XI and Henry IV visited the church.In Patricia Highsmith's novel "The Boy Who Followed Ripley" (1980), the two principal characters visit the basilica en route to an outing in the Forest of Fontainebleau.
