The Holy Father known as Pope Urban II was born here around 1035. His name is known as Odon de Lagery, also Eudes de Châtillon, or Otton de Châtillon. He joined the Benedictine Order named after Benedict of Nursia (OSB for the Latin "Ordo Sancti Benedicti") and became prior of the highly important Cluny Abbey. In 1088, he was elected pope, taking the name Urban II. As the supreme shepherd of the Roman Catholic Church, he supported the Reconquista in Spain and the First Crusade in support of Byzantium. His theological reasoning was based on the second chapter of the Old Testament Book of Daniel, which describes a turning point in history. He died in 1099. His feast day in the calendar of saints is July 29, the recorded date of his death.

beautiful harbor on the Marne Canal - and a houseboat of a special kind, the likes of which I only know from the lake district in Mürnitz.

A beautiful view of the Marne River and the Marne Valley. On the way to Hautvillers, you should occasionally take a look at the plain – it's worth it.

The wine press shows the work of years long gone - the champagne corks on the road are skillfully avoided by sober drivers.
