Sainte-Germaine Hill

Highlight • Viewpoint

Situated at an altitude of 349 metres, Sainte-Germaine Hill offers a magnificent view of the entire valley from the orientation table. The remains of the embankments and ditches of a Gallic oppidum, called the "Roman camp", still remain. Traces of ancient fortifications can also be seen. A chapel is dedicated to Sainte-Germaine.

Saint-Maclou Church

Highlight • Religious Site

The apse (11th century) once served as the castle chapel of the Counts of Bar, but was demolished at the end of the 16th century on the orders of Henri IV. The current bell tower (12th century) was then the keep: the place where the portcullis was located is still visible. The classical 18th century facade is inspired by the gate of the great cloister in Clairvaux.

Highlight • Settlement

Two rivers cross the pretty town of Bar-sur-Aube. These are the Aube river which gives its name to the department and the Bresse. Numerous Champagne vineyard hillsides surround it, which makes it a renowned place for the production of champagne.
