Tips from the Community
Today wooded - several markers indicate the most remarkable species - the mound opens onto a clearing where two ponds and a fountain indicating a source stand. At the bottom, several paths rise, sometimes abruptly, to the oppidum overlooking the site, crossing a double crown of ditches using footbridges. From there, several panoramas unfold offering breathtaking views of the city of Troyes and the Champagne plain.

The Montaigu fountain and pond are perfect places to take a break. The place has a picnic table and playground. On the hill of Montaigu, located above the source, was once the castle of the Counts of Champagne. The stronghold was destroyed in the 15th century following the Treaty of Troyes. At the top of the mountain, you have a panoramic view of the plain.

Gentle hills, vast forests surrounding it and fields of wheat or barley bending in the wind, the valley of the village of Sommeval has something welcoming and peaceful. At the edge of the forest, the view is remarkable.

This forest village is located in the heart of the Othe forest massif. Very close to the Trojan city, it is a bit like its green lung. The country of Othe, as it is also nicknamed, is a chalky block which stretches over 60 kilometers long. Cider is his specialty. Whether sweet or fruity, amateurs will appreciate a good bowl. Champagne does not have the prerogative of bubbles.
