This is a unique town hall, and one that's right in the city center. An impressive building, built in 1927.

I highly recommend this brasserie/restaurant! In the morning, people meet for coffee or wine, and lunch is served from 11:30 a.m. We only had drinks, but the food looked good.

A beautiful drive into town – the roundabout with its fountain and flowers. Doesn't that make your heart sing? A lot is being done here to make the town look beautiful.

For cyclists who like climbs, you can leave from Muizon and enjoy 4% slopes over 4 km with the added bonus of a passage through two timeless villages. A cross in tribute to the fighters of the First World War serves as the highest point of the pass.

Chenay is a village steeped in traditions, narrow cobbled streets, stone houses, a wash house; a gourmet restaurant completes the charm of this village perched on a hill. You can also admire the Champagne valley with its vineyards and the city of Reims in the distance.

Pretty little town up high, with a center full of culture, its church, its castle and its town hall. It is a good starting point with more sites and memorials in and around the city.
