As you approach Langres, a mighty fort rises proudly from a plateau! With a city wall over 4 km long, 12 imposing towers, and 7 city gates, it surrounds a beautiful old town with magnificent views of the valley and Lake Liez. A fromage is produced in the town's name: a soft cheese made from cow's milk with red culture from the region. A delicacy that must be tried! The Meuse rises in Pouilly-en-Bassigny (409 m) – that's about 32 km by bike 🚴🏿‍♀️ from Langres. From there, we begin our Meuse Cycle Route, approximately 1000 km to the estuary (Rotterdam).

In the shadow of the statue of this great man, a "selfie bench" has been placed, where you can take a picture of yourself next to the "Nephew of Rameau".

Langres is the sub-prefecture of the Haute-Marne department, in the Grand Est region. It is located on the Langres Plateau, where several rivers originate, such as the Seine, the Marne, the Aube and the Meuse1. Langres has a long history as an episcopal city and as a fortified city. It was the capital of the Celtic tribe of the Lingones, who allied themselves with Rome. It became an episcopal see as early as the 2nd century and was fortified in the 4th century in response to barbarian raids2. Langres was a border town, first of the Kingdom of Burgundy, then of France. That is why the city was expanded into a fortress, with seven gates and twelve towers, which you can admire by taking the ring road. Langres is also the birthplace of Denis Diderot, the chief editor of the Encyclopédie, which would become a milestone of the French Enlightenment.
