Langres: Saint-Mammès Cathedral

Highlight • Other

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.

Diderot Square

Highlight • Monument

In this square in the centre stands a statue of the philosopher Diderot. In the shadow of the statue of this great man, a "selfie bench" has been placed, where you can take a picture of yourself next to the "Nephew of Rameau". Michel Boussard made the statue of the nephew, a famous character in Diderot's book "The Nephew of Rameau" (which was published after his death in 1821).

The campsite is located within the old city walls, on grounds with a view over the Bonnelle valley. The campsite has 66 pitches, some of which are shaded or semi-shaded.

Porte des Terreaux

Highlight • Other

The Porte des Terreaux is a historic gate in Langres. It is one of the gateways to the fortified city, which is surrounded by a 3.5 km wall. The gate was built in the early 13th century to allow military convoys to bypass the city center. The gate had a double drawbridge and a barbican, a defense structure that was later demolished. The gate also has a mâchicoulis cornice (extension above the entrance), a medieval architectural element.

Porte de l'Hotêl de ville

Highlight • Other

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. 😊

Saint-Mammès Cathedral of Langres

Highlight • Religious Site

Langres is a beautiful place that is probably of Celtic origin. About 2000 years ago the Romans surrounded the city with the fortress.
The city was destroyed by the Vandals around 407 and then rebuilt much smaller. In 731 the city was destroyed, this time by the Saracens.
In 1284, Langres, along with all of Champagne, became part of the French kingdom. In the 14th and 15th centuries, Langres was expanded into a powerful fortress.
It's easy to take a walk along the four-kilometer-long city wall with its twelve towers and seven gates. There is also a small tourist “train” that runs here.
Also worth seeing is the St-Mammès Cathedral, built in the Burgundian-Romanesque style with a touch of Gothic. They were built in two phases around 1160 and 1220.
We have made a stopover in Langres for the third time with our motorhome, up in the citadel with a wonderful view of the landscape, and we are happy to come back.
