Streets squares and districts 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.

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.
