Culture
In Précy-Saint-Martin, the Église Saint-Martin combines timber framing, chalk, brick and cement in its construction. Together with its half-timbered porch and cemetery, it forms an ensemble of exceptional interest. The slender, tiered bell tower is characteristic of the religious architecture of southern Champagne. The church contains rich furnishings from the 16th and 17th centuries, choir stalls depicting the Annunciation and the Nativity in Bethlehem, as well as statues from the 15th and 17th centuries.
The history of the village is also connected with its surroundings. The municipal territory of Précy-Saint-Martin was partly delimited by the routes of the Roman roads from Troyes to Montier-en-Der and from Langres to Châlons. Sarcophagi with vases and swords discovered at the place-name Haut de Tommé indicate that Précy was already inhabited in Roman times.
Those considering Précy-Saint-Martin as a travel destination can plan to rent a holiday apartment as their preferred accommodation.
