Rouelles: Holiday Apartments and Houses

Nature

The Marais de Rouelles features the characteristic vegetation of a tufa bog, including the brown bog-rush, which is protected in France. The area has not been developed; access is reserved for knowledgeable and considerate visitors. The hollow of the Rouelles stream opens towards the northwest and has a cold microclimate.

Anyone wishing to rent a holiday apartment in Rouelles can include the destination directly in their own travel plans.

Culture

The Pigeonnier de ferme à Rouelles is a recently restored dovecote belonging to a farm, with a square floor plan. It has retained its stone flight ledge as well as several nesting niches made of stone and brick. The Pigeonnier de ferme à Rouelles is located on private property and can only be viewed from the outside.

The choir and nave of the Église Notre-Dame-de-l'Assomption de Rouelles are believed to date from the 13th century. Its interior has two bays covered by false rib vaults.

At the Lavoir de Rouelles, the washerwomen washed their clothes standing up. The washhouse is supplied by a clear, abundantly bubbling spring.

History

Under the Ancien Régime, the Seigneurie of Rouelles was subject to the Bailiwick of Châtillon-sur-Seine and formed a Burgundian enclave in Champagne. The Rouelles glassworks reached its peak in 1777, with just under 500 employees.
