Tips from the Community
While staying on the asphalt, you can cover more than 24 km. From the St. Brice Courcelles side, you can go up to La Neuvillette, then to Courcy, it's an unpaved road (passable but not for road bikes). After Courcy, there's asphalt up to Berry au Ferry (this allows you to discover the Sapigneul Owl, about 150 m on dirt road). On the other side, after Sillery, you can continue to Beaumont (asphalt). Then, on a dirt road passable by mountain bike, you can go to the Billy Arch, where the canal passes through a tunnel.

A green vein of peace and movement that stretches for 24 kilometres along the Aisne-Marne canal. Once an old towpath, now a lively promenade for walkers, cyclists and nature lovers. This green corridor winds through Reims, connecting city life with nature, passing historic sites such as the old bathhouses, Port Colbert and charming parks. An unexpected oasis in the heart of the Champagne capital, where history, sport and relaxation come together.

The Jewish communities in Europe, whose centuries-old tradition is often only visible to the public through commemorative plaques or monuments, were honored - especially in these difficult times for them with a rapidly growing, openly expressed anti-Semitism - by awarding the "International Charlemagne Prize of Aachen" to the President of the Conference of European Rabbis, Chief Rabbi Pinchas Goldschmidt, and the Jewish communities in Europe. "In recognition of his outstanding work for peace, the self-determination of peoples and European values, for tolerance, pluralism and understanding, and in recognition of his significant commitment to interreligious and intercultural dialogue, the Board of Directors of the Society for the Award of the International Charlemagne Prize of Aachen in 2024 honors the President of the Conference of European Rabbis, Chief Rabbi Pinchas Goldschmidt, and together with him the Jewish communities in Europe. With this award, the Charlemagne Prize Directorate wants to send a signal that Jewish life is a natural part of Europe and that there can be no place for anti-Semitism in Europe. Jewish life is an important part of European history and present - now and in the future. (...)" (May 2024)

There are a few houseboats on the bank, otherwise the canal is very quiet.

To the northwest of Reims, the Chenay vineyard is made up of a vast plateau on which stretch beautiful champagne vines. In autumn, the spectacle is even more magnificent.
