ラ・クロワ・エン・シャンパーニュでののおすすめライド

Here, in 1792, during the Battle of Valmy, French troops stood against the Prussian armies. A simple windmill on a hill… which became a symbol of resistance.

A pleasant walk and a superb basilica to discover

Great plates to replenish your energy

A break on the market square in Chalon-en-Champagne is worthwhile.

A spacious park, a perfect place for a picnic.

The Argonne forest, which straddles the departments of Marne, Ardennes, Meuse and the east of the Paris basin, was the scene of numerous battles, particularly during the First World War, of which it still retains many relics.

The church is very impressive inside and out. I especially liked the beautiful windows.

Construction from 1406 to 1527, a magnificent example of Flamboyant Gothic. Outside there are remarkable historical gargoyles and "graffiti", inside, among other things, a statue of the Virgin (around 1300) and numerous votive plaques which testify to the importance of the basilica as a place of pilgrimage. Historical Monument since 1840, since 1998 World Heritage with the Chemins de St Jacques in France.
