Dimanche de Caractère® Aÿ

On October 4, 2026, discover Aÿ from a new angle and be surprised by its hidden art. In the heart of Champagne, just a few minutes from Épernay, this Petite Cité de Caractère® invites you to cross the threshold of usually discreet places to reveal a different interpretation of the local heritage.

On this guided tour, you’ll explore interior courtyards, narrow passageways and spaces set back from the main streets, often invisible at first glance. You’ll learn to look at things differently: details of ironwork, door frames, traces of ancient champagne-related uses, and decorative elements hidden in the architecture. Each stop gives you simple keys to understanding these clues and better reading the town’s history. The tour highlights the link between these hidden spaces and the winegrowing activity that has shaped the organization of the site and its evolution over time.

The tour, which is accessible to all, unfolds at a leisurely pace over several kilometers, with regular pauses to observe, exchange views and take the time to look at what usually escapes attention. The tour ends on a gourmet note, prolonging the moment in a convivial atmosphere.

Open your eyes, let yourself be guided and reserve your place to discover Aÿ in a different way, between hidden details, history and the pleasures of the terroir.
