Attractions and Places To See around Bouleuse - Top 16

An impressive half-timbered building made of oak. Except for two metal parts, it is made entirely of wood, with wooden dowels (no nails or screws). At the front, there is a washhouse and a well. According to https://www.reims-tourisme.com/activite/halle-de-lagery/: Built in 1543 in the center of the village of Lagery, the hall was dedicated to trade. From the 16th to the 18th century, there was a market every Tuesday and two or three annual fairs: agricultural markets, grain, wine, livestock, firewood, timber, building materials, industrial goods, etc. This building was listed as a historic monument in 1922. The hall, which was in danger of collapsing and had to be reinforced in 1983, was restored between 2003 and 2007. Since 2010, the town hall and the Lagery Festival Association have organized an arts and crafts market there every spring Sunday.

To the northwest of Reims, the Chenay vineyard is made up of a vast plateau on which stretch beautiful champagne vines. In autumn, the spectacle is even more magnificent.

Pretty market hall in the otherwise rather inconspicuous village. For car-free driving, the small road to Aougny is recommended.

Too nice to sprint 📸

The sand pit is a naturally formed area and not an old quarry. Its seaside looks show traces of the ocean’s presence millions of years ago. This is evidenced by the presence of a very ancient coral reef and many tiny seashells in its sand. It is a highly appreciated place. The place is protected, and it is forbidden to collect sand there.

Here is an unusual place! This former Formula 1 racing car circuit from the 1960s has been preserved as is. It was also used by cyclists. The Dutchman Theo Middelkamp won the road cycling world champion there on August 3, 1947. If you feel like it, come and sprint on these long asphalt straight lines. There is no longer anyone in the stands, but nothing prevents you from imagining the atmosphere then.

The Lac de Gueux park is an ideal place to take a break. The Clos du Lac restaurant and bed and breakfast is also worth a stop, as the place is calm and pleasant. You will also be served good meals.

During the cycling world championship in 1947, the street competitions took place at the Reims location (the train riders drove in Paris). Theo Middelkamp from the Netherlands won the road cycling world champion here on August 3, 1947, between the old grandstands of the Reims automobile race track that are still preserved today. Hands-on cycling history.
