Sure, it's not really a mountain bike destination, but you should definitely take the time, it's worth it.

While staying on the asphalt, you can cover more than 24 km. From the St. Brice Courcelles side, you can go up to La Neuvillette, then to Courcy, it's an unpaved road (passable but not for road bikes). After Courcy, there's asphalt up to Berry au Ferry (this allows you to discover the Sapigneul Owl, about 150 m on dirt road). On the other side, after Sillery, you can continue to Beaumont (asphalt). Then, on a dirt road passable by mountain bike, you can go to the Billy Arch, where the canal passes through a tunnel.

The discovery was partially accidental - earlier column finds in 1840 during market hall construction had hinted at Roman remains, but no excavations were undertaken at that time, making the 1922 discovery all the more significant for understanding Reims' Roman heritage.

An underground U-shaped gallery that formed part of the northern section of the Roman forum around 100 AD, located beneath the current Forum Square in downtown Reims. This ancient structure features stone pillars with notches that once supported wooden frameworks dividing the space into compartments, with decorated stucco walls and a barrel-vaulted ceiling made of brick mortar. The gallery was discovered in 1922 during construction work and classified as a historical monument in 1923, though major restoration didn't occur until 1982 when it was finally opened to the public.

From its inauguration, residents criticized the fountain's weak water flow of only 12 liters per second, and the nude naiads representing the rivers caused public controversy. During World War II, German occupiers removed the bronze statue, but remarkably the fountain remained intact despite 60% of Reims being destroyed during the war.

The Subé Fountain stands in Place Drouet-d'Erlon in central Reims, funded by local benefactor Auguste Subé's donation of 200000 gold francs and inaugurated on July 15, 1906. The 17-meter tall column, made from Corgoloin and Chassignelles stone and decorated with vine motifs, represents the city of Reims and local industries including commerce, viticulture, industry, and agriculture. At its base, four naiads symbolize the rivers Suippe, Marne, Vesle, and Aisne that flow through the Marne department, while a golden Victory statue crowns the top.

Beautiful cycle path along the water.
