Experience an authentic Sunday in Montsaugeon and immerse yourself in the history of a village with character, on August 30, 2026. Nestled just a few kilometers from Langres, this medieval town is enchanting with its cobbled streets, preserved heritage and revived vineyards. Here, every stone tells a story and every vantage point reveals a landscape full of soul.
Accompanied by Bérénice, an archaeologist, you’ll begin your tour in the courtyard of the Tour des Villains, a powerful symbol of the village. Throughout the guided tour, you’ll explore traces of the medieval past, discover how the village was organized and understand the historical importance of local viticulture. Explanations highlight the vestiges, ancient practices and revival of Montsaugeon’s vineyards. Each step of the way allows you to observe the architectural details and better grasp the identity of the place.
This experience is in keeping with the spirit of Dimanches de Caractère®, which promotes an intimate, high-quality discovery of small towns with remarkable heritage, far removed from conventional tourist routes. Accessible to all, the stroll unfolds at a pleasant pace, encouraging exchanges and moments of sharing. The tour continues with a tasting of Muid Montsaugeonnais wine, a reflection of local know-how. To take things a step further, a locavore brunch (extra charge) lets you savour local produce in a convivial atmosphere.
Let yourself be tempted by this interlude between history and gastronomy, and reserve your place to discover Montsaugeon in a different way.
