Sports and leisure activities Aube

Canoe for beginners, kayak for the confirmed ones, is on the river with a vest and with an attendant. Before you leave, we agreed on a course because many excursions are possible here. Indeed, we sail on the Seine and its small arms. The atmosphere is relaxing and prices vary depending on the circuit, counting € 10 for a one hour walk. On the road you discover the countryside from another angle, to discover!

Finally a boutique worthy of this name for a factory store, Cycleurope, where good business is legion. Now it would be ridiculous to go elsewhere to find your little queen of happiness. Brands such as Gypsy, Final, Peugeot and Puch are at your disposal, Romilly being a production site. Furthermore, all types of bikes, adapted to the city, roads, cross or electric are wisely aligned. Make a leap, you will be conquered.

At the beginning of Breeding-sur-Artaut, this short hike takes you through vineyards, forests and plateaus to discover the historical and natural heritage of the town and its surroundings. The church, astonishing by its two naves, is part of the village's enlarge, as well as the wrought iron parapet and the lavoir at the long stone bazaar; it is continuously fed by the source of the Artaut. The course also reserves one of the most beautiful panoramas in the department, and it falls well: The lookout has a few tables and benches to take full advantage of it!

Go to La Loge-aux-Chèvres for this walking tour in the heart of the Temple forest. To go to the parking lot, starting point of your journey, go back to the Temple Street to its junction with the D 79. Turn left then commit yourself immediately to the forest path on the right; you can park approximately 2 kilometres further. Enough roulé, place at walking! In this 10 000-hectare forest, your transgressions will play the metronome on the songs of the chickadees, roitelets and other wild animals you may see if you are discreet… but why do we call this forest the "Temple Forest"? Just in reference to the Templar, who settled in the region in 1225, and who made one of their commands in the forest.

The lake of the Orient Forest has been the playground of most of the Trojans. An undeniable asset for Troyes, it is located about 25 minutes away and city dwellers don't have to travel far to enjoy this 2,500-hectare natural setting, which offers dykes, beaches and windsurfing. From March to November, this lake (the largest and oldest of the three lakes on the site), nestled in the heart of the beautiful Orient Forest, is transformed into a real place of life dedicated to swimming and water sports. You will also discover a luxuriant fauna.

Painter of the country of Armance, Pierre Monnet and his workshop are indispensable in the circuit, since his paintings represent local landscapes.

The approved Association of Fisheries and Protection of Aquatique-sur-Seine Aquatic Environment has a brand new fishing pond located in the heart of the Béchère, a few metres from the equestrian circle, the children's playground and the educational farm. This gravel pit covers a land area of 4 hectares, 3,28 hectares of water. Ideal for fishermen and nature lovers, this water plan proposes you to discover the cipridés (white fish), persidés (perch…), and other ésosydés (pike…).

A fishing trip at the foot of an ^18th-century mill is a great way to combine business with pleasure. The Domaine du Moulin d'Eguebaude salmon farm opened its doors to the public in 1970 and raises trout and salmon from the pure, clear water of the Vanne, which rises 7 km upstream. In this verdant, flower-filled setting, the fish farm offers two types of fishing: fishing by weight, which delights both young and old, and fishing by the day in a pond specially designed for this activity, reserved for more experienced anglers. Rods are supplied for fishing by the kilo. Rainbow, salmon, fario and brook trout cross and intermingle in the ponds. It's all fun and games! For daytime fishing, everyone brings their own tackle and takes up position near the nearby pond. For picnics, tables and chairs are set up in fine weather, so you can enjoy the place even more. As for the name Eguebaude, it means "Happy Water"... That says it all!

The fishing association of Nogent sur Seine was founded on 17 March 1901. In its 1901 statutes, protection of aquatic environments was already in good place, proof if necessary that fishermen were precursors in the field of ecology. One of his honorary presidents at the time was the illustrious Alfred Boucher in Paris. Today, the fishing company puts at your disposal, along with the river Seine and its canals, over 60 hectares of water plans in private areas (the Small Pleux, the Grazing, the Monteuil…), to measure you to carp, white love and silver, estrugeons, day and night, as well as to the pike, trawling and black-bass of day. Also a fishing school.

On the beach of Géraudot, Captain François welcomes you with a smile and proposes to take a boat tour (30 minutes or 1 hour) on the magnifque lake of the east forest. It also rents two canoe and boats (half day or full day). A wonderful site to discover on the water to take full view. And now, to you row!

The website of this pottery workshop, 100% local and handmade as it claims, is just as playful as its inhabitants. The workshop creates traditional stoneware and porcelain pottery, but also has fun creating stars, animals and flowers. Here, it's a colorful circus, with small pieces that awaken interiors. You can take part in the workshop, or register your children for other workshops. We work with clay for an hour and a half, for around €25: your little one leaves with his work, while we pamper him and offer him a snack! Get ideas....
