Culture and History

The Église Saint-Pierre was built in the 12th century. It includes a 14th-century halloy, which served as shelter for merchants during the Foires de Champagne.

The tower of the Saint-Maclou church is a surviving former tower of the castle of the Counts of Champagne. The Hôtel de Ville is partly located in the former Ursuline convent, which was built in 1634 to educate young girls.

On Colline Sainte-Germaine, near the chapel and the orientation table, ditches and earthworks from a Celtic oppidum have been preserved; there is also a viewpoint offering panoramic views.
