In November 2008, an extraordinary museum about an extraordinary man opened in Colombey-les-deux-Eglises. This place of remembrance at the foot of the Lorraine Cross is equipped with the latest museum and exhibit technology to help familiarise visitors with the 20th century’s most famous Frenchman.
This Memorial entirely dedicated to the public and private life of General de Gaulle is a cultural and tourist amenity as great as the man who chose this town as a place to come when he needed to rest and think.
The Haute-Marne General Council sets up the permanent and temporary exhibitions in partnership with the Charles de Gaulle Foundation.

Set beside the champagne vineyards, Reims is a town with a rich history and rural flavour, whose past is marked by important events in the history of France. The site of the coronation of 33 French kings, from Clovis to Charles X, Reims is classed as a “Town of Art and History”.
Its four UNESCO World Heritage Sites, its many museums, and monuments that bear witness to a glorious past going back to the Gallo-Roman era, make Reims one of the region’s key attractions. If Reims dazzles visitors with the beauty of its architecture, its appeal is also owed to the international acclaim of champagne, with such great champagne houses as Veuve Clicquot, Taittinger, Pommery and Ruinart, a tour of whose cellars makes for a truly magical experience. Absolutely not to be missed: Notre-Dame Cathedral, a gem of French Gothic architecture, whose magnificent “Smiling Angel” has become the symbol of the town; the Palais de Tau, former residence of the Archbishop of Reims, which today houses a museum, the Musée des Oeuvres de la Cathédrale; the Saint Remi Basilica, a marvel of Roman art, which celebrated its 1,000th birthday in 2007 – here is where the Sainte Ampoule, or ‘Holy Ampulla’, indispensable to the crowning of the kings of France, was kept up until the French Revolution; and not forgetting the Abbey of Saint Remi, an important landmark in French history and spiritual life, which houses a very rich museum of history and archaeology.

Dating from the 15th century, Sedan’s fortified castle is the largest in Europe (35,000 sq m). With its strategic position on the frontier of eastern France, the castle was continually added to, strengthened and modernised by the powerful La Marcks, Dukes of Bouillon and Sovereign Princes of Sedan.
Today a listed building, it recounts its history, plunging visitors into the heart of the Middle Ages, and the time of the Principality of Sedan. It tells of the lives of both the Princes of Sedan and their soldiers and servants, by means of an animated tour that uses highly detailed reconstructions of scenes from everyday life.

A town at the crossroads of Europe and historical capital of Champagne, Troyes owes its prosperity to the markets of the Middle Ages and the prosperity of the Counts of Champagne.
Today, this “Town of Art and History”, whose historic quarters are laid out in the shape of a champagne cork, serves as the backdrop for magnificent half-timbered town houses, which have remained unscathed since the Middle Ages. Blessed with exceptional artistic heritage, Troyes has always had a special relationship with its artists and craftsmen. This is clear from the many museums found in the town, as varied as they are original, and the masterpieces of the town’s nine listed churches and cathedral.
History is everywhere, in the narrow paved streets, in the façades of the half-timbered houses, in the exceptional stained-glass windows which proudly adorn the town’s churches, and in the sumptuous drapery of its 16thcentury statuary.
Discover the church of Sainte Madeleine and the Cathedral with their remarkable stained-glass windows, or step inside the church of Saint Pantaléon, home to some sixty statues of the Troyes School.
