Culture and History

The Maison de la Négritude et des Droits de l’Homme is a memorial site that refers to Article 29 of the Cahier des Doléances of Champagney. As early as 1789, the inhabitants called for the abolition of the enslavement of Black people. The Maison addresses slavery in the past and present and was founded in 1971.

The Église Saint-Laurent houses a carved and polychrome-painted wooden pulpit dating from the 18th century. The Comtois bell tower also contains 35 restored bells.

For some travellers, renting a holiday apartment in Champagney is part of planning their stay.
