Part of the Team Rynkeby Berlin tour in 2024. Nice spot for a break.

The Hermitage of Saint-Rouin is a modern chapel built on the site of an ancient hermitage where Saint-Rouin, founder of the Beaulieu-en-Argonne abbey, lived in the 7th century. The chapel, designed by the architect and Dominican friar L.-B. Rayssiguier, is a striking example of concrete architecture with geometric shapes and colorful stained glass windows. You can admire the minimalist interior and the altar made of sandstone blocks, as well as the 17th century altarpiece of the Assumption located in the enclosure. The Hermitage of Saint-Rouin is a place of pilgrimage and celebration every year on September 17, the feast day of Saint-Rouin. You can also enjoy the natural beauty of the surrounding forest and the panoramic views from the hilltop. The Hermitage of Saint-Rouin is a hidden gem that will inspire you with its history and art.

Built between 1954 and 1961, the Saint-Rouin hermitage was erected in the heart of the Argonne forest according to plans drawn up by Father Rayssiguier, Dominican, disciple of Le Corbusier and co-author of the Vence chapel. For further information, contact the Association "Les Amis de Saint-Rouin".

One of the many memorials to those who fell during the First World War. Next door is the small church of Saint Maurice.

Very pleasant to drive due to the good surface and little traffic. With a bit of luck, a TGV will rush under you on the bridge.

Even the dirt roads are in perfect condition and great for riding with racing bikes. In terms of landscape, you can mainly see rapeseed fields here in spring.
