It’s a calm yet powerful place that connects you to centuries of French history and craftsmanship. After your visit, explore the nearby streets and cafés that surround this remarkable landmark.

From La Briqueterie Champagne in Vinay, take a trip to Verzy Forest Regional Park for a unique outdoor experience. The park is home to the remarkable Scythes, twisted beech trees with gnarled, unusual trunks that have puzzled scientists for years. You can walk along marked trails, observe these trees up close and take in the calm of the forest.

The unusual shapes of the Scythes make every turn along the path interesting, offering plenty of opportunities for photos and great reflection. It’s a simple way to connect and ground with nature, enjoy fresh air and see one of the region’s natural wonders.

You can visit the Marne region to explore its First World War sites. The area was the scene of several major battles and now hosts memorials, cemeteries and museums that record the events and sacrifices of that time. Walking through these sites, you can see preserved trenches, monuments and exhibitions that provide insight into the conflict and its impact.

Guided tours are available if you want detailed historical context. Spending a day here offers a reflective experience, connecting you with the region’s history while learning about the people and events that shaped it.
