The Cathedral Saint-Mammès, consecrated to the 3rd-century martyr, is a significant structure of the Archdiocese of Langres. It was built from 1150 onwards and illustrates the transitional phase between Romanesque and the first Gothic innovations. The nave, with its pointed arch vaults, offers remarkable lighting conditions for its time. The imposing neoclassical facade, added in 1768, integrates two towers and symbolic statues of the Synagogue and the Church.

The Porte de l’Hotêl de ville or Porte Gallo-Romaine, in Langres is one of the seven gates around the fortified town of Langres, whose origins date back to Gallo-Roman times. The gate was built in 1592, was given a barbican in 1620 and was rebuilt in 1750. The gate gave direct access to the markets and was an important passage for trade. The gate has an impressive frieze with gargoyles and a coat of arms with the fleur-de-lys. The gate is a national monument and one of the 20 most beautiful sights around Langres. 😊

In 1581, after more than two centuries of existence, the alderman acquired a vast Gothic residence on Place du Marché-aux-Blés (now Place de l'Hôtel-de-Ville). In addition to the municipal administration, the new town hall housed the court and, soon, the prisons of the royal justice. It was the fire in the latter that led to a complete reconstruction of the building from 1774. Under the direction of Nicolas Durand, architect of the generality of Champagne, the new town hall took over and arranged the municipal, judicial and penitentiary functions of the old town hall. Thus, the royal prisons were rebuilt behind the building. Treated as a projection, punctuated by an imposing colonnade and topped with a pediment, the central part constitutes the major accent of the façade. This escaped the fire which, in December 1892, ravaged the rest of the building. In the pediment, the acronym RF (French Republic) replaced the royal arms carved during the Revolution; however, it is the same angels who carry the republican shield!
