A very beautiful little path between a small moat and the stream. Everything looks very idyllic, like something out of a fairytale.

A beautiful 18th-century building, boasting a vast park crossed by the Aube River, including a vast pond and an orangery. The castle is located right next to the abbey, but unfortunately it is privately owned and cannot be visited.

The museum is now located in a former monastery and is well worth a visit.

The Douix or Douix de Châtillon is an abundant outflow at the origin of a short river of the same name which feeds the upper course of the Seine. The place is calm and idyllic as desired 👍🏽
