A must-see if you are passing through during the Raid Bulles Gravel to taste an excellent Troyes andouillette galette combined with Chaource 😋 All washed down with a glass of champagne, of course!

A major Aube memorial and heritage site, the Aube Resistance Museum is made up of three exhibition rooms and a temporary exhibition room which allow you to discover the Aube Resistance. This very particular period which influenced our contemporary world is approached thanks to local collections, which mainly belonged to the resistance fighters themselves, but also to more recent donations and deposits from Aube families who wish the memory of their ancestors to be preserved at the museum. . These collections are supplemented by thematic testimonies on helmets, interactive maps, and manipulations on screens to immerse audiences in the daily life of the Occupation.

Decorated with beautiful houses and surrounded by vineyards, life is good in Les Riceys. The village has many wineries that offer champagne tastings and cellar tours. It prides itself on being the only wine-growing commune in the region to have the three Champagne controlled appellations. If you want to taste champagne, the place is very suitable.

This magnificent church has real treasures for those who love medieval art. The recumbent figures in the tombs of Guillaume de Mussy and his wife are impressively realistic. Superb stained glass windows from the 14th century magnify the architecture of this beautiful building.

This manor was built by Pierre Pion, a wealthy butcher from Troyes, who restored it after it was damaged by the English during the Hundred Years' War. The manor has four round towers pierced with cannons, a polygonal staircase tower and a double gallery of wooden beams. You can also admire the four monumental fireplaces with sculpted mantles, as well as the coat of arms of Louis XII, who stayed there as seneschal of Champagne. The manor is today the town hall of Rumilly and hosts a reception room on the ground floor.
