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.

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

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.

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.
