This is where the de Gaulles are buried. Charles de Gaulle's grave lies between the large memorial/museum and the La Boisserie residence, so it's easily accessible on the way from one to the other.

Opened in 1885, the Condes tunnel is now equipped with a cycle path and lighting, which is quite enjoyable when passing underneath.

Via Francigena: During this stage, a stop in Bar-sur-Aube is a must. Situated on a north-south axis, the town acquired strategic importance and the status of a commercial centre during the period of the Counts of Champagne. The latter had indeed guaranteed the security of the merchants and set up an adapted logistical organisation that contributed to the development of Bar-sur-Aube as a commercial centre. Thus, from mid-February to mid-April, traders from Flanders and Italy exchanged oriental spices, silk, textiles and raw materials from Northern Europe. The architecture of the town bears witness to this past activity.
