This village on the Côte des Bar, on the banks of the Seine, borders the town of Bar-sur-Seine. For many centuries it marked the border between the region of Champagne and that of Burgundy. The name Burgundians comes from there. Until the beginning of the 19th century, there was an old marker there which recalled this division of the territory of France into provinces.
