Things to see and do Joinville

This beautiful wharf derives its name from the échalas of the vineyard which occupied all the slopes of the surroundings of Modèle, until the end of the th century. These "guardians" were kept in the ground, to strengthen them. On the walk, we can see the last trace of the ramparts: A tower, whose corbeaux, supporting the round road, are still present. This picturesque area is characterized by water because Modèle is built on the edge of the Marne, the longest French river. The stone houses that have been built on each side, above its level, are reflected in the arms of the Marne and worth its nickname of Petite Venice. During the beautiful season, the colorful flowers that parent the windows of the houses offer a pleasant spectacle.

The architecture of the th century of this magnificent church is massive and ouvragée. Inspired by a Renaissance portal added to the south side of the building, it also contains important furnishings and treasures. It was about 1560 that was commissioned by Antoinette de Bourbon the authentic and magnificent "Mise". Amazing are the figures that make it up: the faces are very expressive and the movements are perfectly made thanks to the thin lines that cut the characters and the precision of the folds of their clothes. A wonder! Notre-Dame Church also contains a key piece: the famous relic of the "Saint Joseph Belt", made up of hemp and a faded ivory latch, which was reported from Holy Earth in 1552 by Jean de Modèle. What to say about the organ created by Louis Le Bé in his original place… Finally, it is the construction of the current tower tower at the beginning of the th century which allows, because of its height, to be visible from a distance in the valley.

In the middle of the reach, there is the presence of the remnants of a former mill. This wharf is named after the wood chips used in the mill's sails for the work of the skins used in les. The Poncelot, a small stone bridge of the 1641 th century, was réédifié in during the Ursulines installation. An ideal place to walk in peace and quiet.
