The bar coast
This destination, in the south-east of the Aube region, offers picturesque landscapes where the Champagne plain meets the Burgundy mountains.
From Bar-sur-Seine to Bar-sur-Aube, the Côte de Bar vineyards form an arc to the southeast of Troyes, where Pinot Noir is king. Along the Route Touristique du Champagne, you’ll find rolling hills, lush green countryside and a mosaic of geometric vineyard plots, shaped by the winemakers. Vaulted cellars and the famous cadoles are typical of this territory!
In Troyes, heritage enthusiasts will be won over by the mansions, half-timbered houses and serpentine streets…
Some fifty label-certified wineries open their doors to you, revealing the secrets of their champagnes during a tasting and/or a visit to the winery.
