This is a unique town hall, and one that's right in the city center. An impressive building, built in 1927.

I highly recommend this brasserie/restaurant! In the morning, people meet for coffee or wine, and lunch is served from 11:30 a.m. We only had drinks, but the food looked good.

Superb viewpoint over the surrounding vineyards, a bit of history on the monument which overlooks the Vesle valley which was at the heart of many battles of the 14-18 war

For cyclists who like climbs, you can leave from Muizon and enjoy 4% slopes over 4 km with the added bonus of a passage through two timeless villages. A cross in tribute to the fighters of the First World War serves as the highest point of the pass.

Chenay is a village steeped in traditions, narrow cobbled streets, stone houses, a wash house; a gourmet restaurant completes the charm of this village perched on a hill. You can also admire the Champagne valley with its vineyards and the city of Reims in the distance.
