Via Francigena: During this stage, a stop in Bar-sur-Aube is a must. Situated on a north-south axis, the town acquired strategic importance and the status of a commercial centre during the period of the Counts of Champagne. The latter had indeed guaranteed the security of the merchants and set up an adapted logistical organisation that contributed to the development of Bar-sur-Aube as a commercial centre. Thus, from mid-February to mid-April, traders from Flanders and Italy exchanged oriental spices, silk, textiles and raw materials from Northern Europe. The architecture of the town bears witness to this past activity.

The Saint-Léger parish church was initially built in the 12th century, then completely integrated into a new church, 1866-1867 during the restoration and expansion work carried out by Pierre Lefranc, former architect to King Louis-Philippe, who was elected mayor in 1860. The church contained a font from the end of the 15th century or the beginning of the 16th century. Since 1942, only a few fragments have remained which have been placed in the gallery of the preaching pulpit. These fragments have been "classified" in the inventory of historic monuments since December 27, 1913. The church also contains a funerary slab dated 1296, also "classified" since December 27, 1913 as well as the 12 objects listed in the inventory general cultural heritage. Furthermore, a wooden Christ, dating from the 12th century, was found in 2010.
