製粉所と博物館、ここでフランス軍は1792年のフランス革命における決定的な戦いを繰り広げました

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.

The Saint-Roch chapel appeared in the 17th century, well before the La Harazée national necropolis next to which it is located. The latter contains the remains of 1,672 soldiers who fell during the Battle of Argonne.

A pleasant walk and a superb basilica to discover

Very nice to ride a bike. There are several corners here that invite you to linger.

The Collégiale Notre-Dame-en-Vaux is a magnificent example of Romanesque and Gothic art, built between the 12th and 15th centuries. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site as part of the Santiago de Compostela pilgrimage route. It has one of the largest carillons in Europe, with 56 bells, and an impressive collection of 16th-century stained glass windows. It is one of the most visited monuments in Châlons-en-Champagne, a city also known for its boat trips, parks, festivals and cellars.

Great plates to replenish your energy

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