Monuments to visit Champagne-Ardenne

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.

It's hard to imagine that on this great square, the beautiful building is just the city hall. However, you can take a look at the lobby at the opening hours of the city hall, but private rooms will stay. For the rest, the mayor organizes a guided tour of the entire castle during heritage days and increasingly opens his park to demonstrations. He was formerly owned by Dupré, boss of the knitted industries of Romilly-sur-Seine, before being bought by the City in 1948. The façade, with a beautiful perron, is a privileged space for photographs, space for a moment, you will take a chateau. A beautifully beautifully decorated park is open to the public every day, then enjoy the promenade to see on the back wall, the impacts of bullets and shells, stigma of the Campaign de France. The pigeon is also a beautiful piece. The church is right next door, so you're still trotting a little!

The Grand Marionnettiste is a monumental clock located in front of the building adjacent to the International Institute of Marionnette. This facade is actually the rear part of the Ardenne Museum whose main access is Ducale Square. Created in 1991, Jacques Monestier's work includes not only the clock but also a brass character of 10 m high which marks the hours from 10 a. m. to 9 p. m. daily. He then presents one of the 12 sayers of the legend of the four Aymon sons (a song of gesture of Merovingian origin). On Saturday, at 9:15 p. m., for 40 min, the 12 tables can be seen. You can admire the mechanism of the interior of the Ardenne Museum.

Behind the high wrought iron gates that line this remarkable site, you can admire the late 19th century mansions of the houses of Auban-Moët, Chandon, Maigret, Gallice, de Billy or Mercier. Today, the greatest champagne houses in the world, which make the reputation of the city, have their headquarters here and offer tours of the cellars with tasting at the end. A few meters underground, a labyrinthine network of nearly 110 km of cellars contains a real treasure: over 200 million bottles.

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.
