Very nice highlight worth seeing

The Dienville market hall was built in stone in 1866. The building hosts the town's market every Sunday.

The 50-metre footbridge passes over the Seine reservoir supply channel, allowing cyclists to continue along the lakes cycle route.

The shaded rest area of Petit Orient, located on the edge of the Forêt d'Orient lake, is a true haven of peace. Surrounded by tall trees, this relaxation area offers a soothing view of the calm waters of the lake and the surrounding nature. Perfect for a break after a bike ride, this place invites contemplation and serenity. The aquatic birds, typical of the nature reserve, add a touch of wild beauty to the place.

As you cycle along the perimeter of the lake, you will be greeted by expansive views of the lake waters bordered by dense forests. This area is part of the Forêt d'Orient Regional Natural Park, where you will find well-maintained trails that will take you through quiet forests and charming lakeside villages.

The town hall is located in part of a former Ursuline convent, founded in 1634 to educate girls. The renovated square is pedestrianized.

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 apse (11th century) once served as the castle chapel of the Counts of Bar, but was demolished at the end of the 16th century on the orders of Henri IV. The current bell tower (12th century) was then the keep: the place where the portcullis was located is still visible. The classical 18th century facade is inspired by the gate of the great cloister in Clairvaux.
