Diderot Square

Highlight • Monument

In this square in the centre stands a statue of the philosopher Diderot. In the shadow of the statue of this great man, a "selfie bench" has been placed, where you can take a picture of yourself next to the "Nephew of Rameau". Michel Boussard made the statue of the nephew, a famous character in Diderot's book "The Nephew of Rameau" (which was published after his death in 1821).

The Longe-Porte still has its 17th century guardhouse intact. The barbican of the “Longe-Porte” gate, projecting from the ramparts, allowed for increased control of access to the town of Langres.

Langres, town hall

Highlight • Monument

In 1581, after more than two centuries of existence, the alderman acquired a vast Gothic residence on Place du Marché-aux-Blés (now Place de l'Hôtel-de-Ville). In addition to the municipal administration, the new town hall housed the court and, soon, the prisons of the royal justice. It was the fire in the latter that led to a complete reconstruction of the building from 1774. Under the direction of Nicolas Durand, architect of the generality of Champagne, the new town hall took over and arranged the municipal, judicial and penitentiary functions of the old town hall. Thus, the royal prisons were rebuilt behind the building. Treated as a projection, punctuated by an imposing colonnade and topped with a pediment, the central part constitutes the major accent of the façade. This escaped the fire which, in December 1892, ravaged the rest of the building. In the pediment, the acronym RF (French Republic) replaced the royal arms carved during the Revolution; however, it is the same angels who carry the republican shield!

Côte des 3 Rois

Highlight (Segment) • Other

The Faubourg de trois Roi in Langres is a district in the southwest of the city, which takes its name from the three kings who visited the city in 1431: Charles VII of France, Sigismund of Luxembourg and James I of Scotland. The district has a historic character, with many old houses and monuments, such as the Porte Longe Porte, the Tour du Petit Sault and the Hôtel de Piepape. The district is also a lively place, with many shops, cafes and restaurants.

Langres: Saint-Mammès Cathedral

Highlight • Other

The Cathedral Saint-Mammès, consecrated to the 3rd-century martyr, is a significant structure of the Archdiocese of Langres. It was built from 1150 onwards and illustrates the transitional phase between Romanesque and the first Gothic innovations. The nave, with its pointed arch vaults, offers remarkable lighting conditions for its time. The imposing neoclassical facade, added in 1768, integrates two towers and symbolic statues of the Synagogue and the Church.

Porte des Terreaux

Highlight • Other

The Porte des Terreaux is a historic gate in Langres. It is one of the gateways to the fortified city, which is surrounded by a 3.5 km wall. The gate was built in the early 13th century to allow military convoys to bypass the city center. The gate had a double drawbridge and a barbican, a defense structure that was later demolished. The gate also has a mâchicoulis cornice (extension above the entrance), a medieval architectural element.
