Langres is a beautiful place that is probably of Celtic origin. About 2000 years ago the Romans surrounded the city with the fortress.

The city was destroyed by the Vandals around 407 and then rebuilt much smaller. In 731 the city was destroyed, this time by the Saracens.

In 1284, Langres, along with all of Champagne, became part of the French kingdom. In the 14th and 15th centuries, Langres was expanded into a powerful fortress.

It's easy to take a walk along the four-kilometer-long city wall with its twelve towers and seven gates. There is also a small tourist “train” that runs here.

Also worth seeing is the St-Mammès Cathedral, built in the Burgundian-Romanesque style with a touch of Gothic. They were built in two phases around 1160 and 1220.

We have made a stopover in Langres for the third time with our motorhome, up in the citadel with a wonderful view of the landscape, and we are happy to come back.

Cathedral of Saint-Mammès de Langres

A must for church lovers.

The Cathedrale is located in the middle of the city on the market square and the town hall.

The interior invites you to linger in the silence and you can take in the architecture in peace.

The approximately 4 kilometer long fortress belt and the wonderful Renaissance houses have been wonderfully preserved.

The fortress belt includes a total of 6 gates, of which the most notable is the Porte des Moulins (1647), as well as 7 towers, which are considered masterpieces of military architecture of the late Middle Ages.

A walk on the fortress walls is a must for visitors to the city, especially. a. during the summer months, when the minstrels go in search of the city's almost two thousand year old history.
