Pretty little town up high, with a center full of culture, its church, its castle and its town hall. It is a good starting point with more sites and memorials in and around the city.

This portion of the Via Francigena winds through the heart of the Hermonville vineyards. Pinot meunier, pinot noir and chardonnay are grown here to make champagne.
