Arriving in Chaumont, with its church perched atop the hill, is a beautiful spot to stop and enjoy the view. Take a break; the shopping street winds its way up to the church.

The church of Saint-Martin-aux-Bois stands on the site of the former abbey on which it depended, which no longer exists. Only a few vestiges remain, including the Galata, a former hostelry that has become private property. From the rampart walk, the outline of the enclosure and the location of the monastic buildings can still be seen, while the apse of the church has recently undergone major restoration work.
