Langres fortified city
Voted the finest fortified town in France, Langres is an enchanting place whose roots run deeply through the history of France as far back as Antiquity with its ancient ramparts and 19th century citadel.
The town is a perfect destination on your heritage tour of Haute-Marne and the high point has to be a walk around its 3km ramparts. As the birthplace of Diderot, Langres is also an essential cultural destination of the Champagne region.
The ramparts of the fortified town of Langres, perched on a promontory, can be seen from many kilometres away. But these walls are just the backdrop to the exceptional heritage buildings inside. The surrounding countryside is very beautiful with four lakes, natural attractions and lovely gardens, ideal for walking. The neighbouring town of Nogent is worth a visit to discover its expertise in the manufacture of blades of all types.
