In General de Gaulle’s footsteps
in Colombey-Les-Deux-Eglises

Stroll through the streets of Colombey-Les-Deux-Eglises and follow in the footsteps of General de Gaulle, who made the municipality famous. He purchased his country house, “La Boisserie”, there in 1934, where he wrote his memoirs some years later.

Much more than a traditional presentation of the “the Man of 18 June” or the first President of the 5th Republic, a visit to the Charles de Gaulle Memorial is nothing less than a rendezvous with the history of the 20th century and an encounter with the man behind the public image.

The village is also home to the monumental Cross of Lorraine, symbol of Free France.

Langres

Treat yourself to a philosophical stopover in Langres

Langres is protected by a 4-km-long girdle of ramparts that you can admire as you linger in the city’s narrow little streets. Quite simply, it’s the biggest fortified enclosure in Europe! You’ll come across a great many architectural curiosities and magnificent Renaissance residences within its walls, and of course there’s also the superb Romanesque Cathedral of Saint-Mammès.

It’s the hometown of the famous Enlightenment philosopher Denis Diderot, one of the 18th century’s greatest thinkers, and the Maison des Lumières pays tribute to him.

The fortified city of Langres is surrounded by 4 lakes, perfect for a spot of relaxation on their shores, and where more energetic visitors can enjoy such activities as water sports, hiking and sailing...
