The Montaigu fountain and pond are perfect places to take a break. The place has a picnic table and playground. On the hill of Montaigu, located above the source, was once the castle of the Counts of Champagne. The stronghold was destroyed in the 15th century following the Treaty of Troyes. At the top of the mountain, you have a panoramic view of the plain.
