Tips

Franz Josef Klingen

July 17, 2023

The garden, now gone, came from part of the former episcopal domain of Cohons, made up of the vast forest of Champ Bresson (where we are) and that of Lahie overlooking the village (on the other side de la route), which was sold as national property on April 26, 1808 at the end of the Revolution.
The two buyers, Nicolas Daguin former mayor of Langres? 1795-97? (Lahie for half) and Mr. François Bertrand-Poinsot lawyer in Langres and Charles-Michel Poinsot his brother-in-law (Lahie for the other half and Champ Bresson), immediately had their estates transformed into English gardens, thanks to the laborers of Cohons who extract and transport the stone. In Lahie, Nicolas Daguin had the terraces overhanging the village laid out, planted two magnificent cedars there (topped during the 1999 storm), installed stone benches, fitted out the "house of billiards" (recently disappeared) in a crevice of the cliff, and had the smallest of the Snails created on the edge of the plateau, surrounded by a maze of boxwood.
