Silière Garden

Highlight • Other

The Jardin de Silière in Cohons was created in 1661, the same year as Versailles, and features a symmetrical design with water features, boxwood, yew, hornbeam and lime trees. You can also walk along a small stream with waterfalls and a tuff formation, which is labeled as a "Remarkable Tree Cluster". The garden is open to the public from May 1 to November 11, and offers guided tours and special events.

The Escargots of Cohons

Highlight • Monument

The garden, now gone, came from part of the former episcopal domain of Cohons, made up of the vast forest of Champ Bresson (where we are) and that of Lahie overlooking the village (on the other side de la route), which was sold as national property on April 26, 1808 at the end of the Revolution.
The two buyers, Nicolas Daguin former mayor of Langres? 1795-97? (Lahie for half) and Mr. François Bertrand-Poinsot lawyer in Langres and Charles-Michel Poinsot his brother-in-law (Lahie for the other half and Champ Bresson), immediately had their estates transformed into English gardens, thanks to the laborers of Cohons who extract and transport the stone. In Lahie, Nicolas Daguin had the terraces overhanging the village laid out, planted two magnificent cedars there (topped during the 1999 storm), installed stone benches, fitted out the "house of billiards" (recently disappeared) in a crevice of the cliff, and had the smallest of the Snails created on the edge of the plateau, surrounded by a maze of boxwood.

Sabinus Cave

Highlight • Cave

The Grotte de Sabinus is a natural cave located near the source of the Marne in Balesmes-sur-Marne. According to legend, this cave was the hiding place of Julius Sabinus, a Gallic leader who rebelled against Rome in the first century CE, and his wife Eponine. You can explore the cave, approximately 20 meters deep, 30 meters long, 3 meters wide and 1.3 meters high, and imagine the lives of the fugitives who spent nine years there. The site also offers panoramic views of the surrounding landscape and a picnic area.

Source of the Marne

Highlight • Other

This is where the Marne, the longest tributary of the Seine, is born. It is a natural source located on the Langres plateau, in the commune of Saints-Geosmes. Protected by a small stone vault, the spring flows into a stream which winds through the countryside. You can also enjoy the panoramic views of the Côte aux Clos, where the Marne begins its journey of more than 500 kilometers to join the Seine in Paris.
