Set off in search of the lost park of Mussy-sur-Seine and explore a little-known heritage, on September 27, 2026. In the heart of Aube’s Petite Cité de Caractère®, let yourself be guided through a place steeped in history, where prestigious past and present-day landscapes are subtly superimposed.
On this guided tour, you’ll wander through the ancient parkland of the Château des Évêques de Mussy, once enlarged and embellished in the 18th century. Transformed during the French Revolution and redesigned at the end of the 19th century, this estate has undergone profound changes, and much of it is now privately owned. Accompanied by two passionate Musséens, you’ll discover the vestiges still visible, the ancient layout and the original organization of the park. One provides a precise historical perspective, while the other shares a sensitive reading of the gardens and landscaping, helping you to better imagine the place as it once was.
This walk, accessible to all, takes place over a few kilometers at a pleasant pace, conducive to observation and discussion. At the end of the tour, a snack on the grass awaits you, with ice creams and petits fours made from local products, to prolong the moment in a simple and convivial atmosphere.
Let yourself be carried away by this visit between memory and nature, and reserve your place to rediscover Mussy-sur-Seine in a different way.
