Pays de Langres et des 4 lacs

Browsing through 3.5 kilometers of its ramparts remained spared over the centuries, the town overlooks a vast panorama: to the east, it sprawls in successive plans of Lake Liez and Marne valley to the Vosges, leaving sometimes guess the Bernese Alps. To the west, beyond the verdant valley of the Bonnelle the plateau of Langres opens your eyes with its hedgerows and wooded hillsides.

Follow the maze of lanes and the turning of covered walkways, let tell you the story of the city. This is Gallo-Roman through its ancient monuments, its mosaic of Bacchus and his very eloquent sculptures. It is medieval in its plot and the radiance of his cathedral Cluniac inspiration. Renaissance, meanwhile, unfolds in elegant mansions, initiating the rich families langroises a growing comfort in a setting inspired by ancient treaties that traditional civil architecture develop with great refinement.

The installation of many religious communities at the time of the Counter Reformation uses the monumental architectural support as an instrument of their remarkably education. They often contain public institutions today.

Last witness of the evolution of military technology reinforcing this site spur blocked, presumably fortified since the 3rd century, the austere 19th century citadel offers a new youth associations and by hosting cultural events.

Langres is like a book of art and living history. The city has adapted to different times while remaining true to itself. Welcoming and generous, she asks only to be discovered.
