All the activities around our gîte in Provins

PROVINS! Come and discover this authentic medieval town, a UNSECO World Heritage Site.

A remarkable town, where everyone will leave with unforgettable memories. Located in the Ile de France region, just an hour from Paris, Disneyland Paris, the Chessy/Marne la Vallée train station, Roissy Charles de Gaulle and Orly airports, and at the gateway to Burgundy and Champagne.

The ancient capital of the Counts of Champagne, once France's 3rd largest city (from 1019 to 1284), will charm you with its 58 12th and 13th century monuments, its falconry and knights' shows, and its rose garden, classified as a "remarkable garden", where you can admire the famous "Rosa Gallica officinalis" or Rose de Provins, brought back by Thibault IV of Champagne during a crusade.

Provins is a unique testimony to the beginnings of economic and cultural exchanges in Europe through the great Champagne fairs (12th and 13th centuries). Provins minted its own currency: the denier provinois (recognized for its value throughout medieval Europe).

Famous people have left their mark on its history: from Charlemagne to Thibault IV, to famous writers such as Proust, Victor Hugo and Balzac. On your travels from north to south or west to east, stop off in Provins, at the gateway to Champagne and Burgundy.
