Stage city Via Francigena France Cyclo/Pied: During this stage, the "romieux" are invited to stop at Rosnay l'Hôpital, whose church exceptionally has a crypt. In the 12th century, Thomas of Canterbury, a refugee in France, honoured Rosnay with his presence. He celebrated mass in the crypt in 1164, and it is said that a spring gushed out there that cured all who came there to quench their thirst. This spring still exists today under the name of "St. Thomas Well". A little further on, in Lesmont, the walker can take a small detour to access the remains of the old Roman road linking Reims to Langres, which would have been used by Sigeric in his time.

In the early days, it depended on the abbey of Montier-en-Der. It was then the possession of both the priest, the abbey of Basse-Fontaine and the lord of Lesmont who shared the tithes. On February 2, 1814, during the French campaign, Napoleon retreating towards Troyes after the battle of La Rothière, burned the bridge after the passage of his troops. During the battle, cannonballs fell on the church causing much damage and damaging the bell tower. Leaning abnormally and threatening to collapse on the church, it was dismantled in 1857. It was not until 1865 that it was rebuilt after redoing 2 pillars and 2 vaults. We took the opportunity to reinstall the 3 bells, two of which Fanie and Eugénie were recast and remade. The third, Marie Anne, has always been in good health since 1772. The roof of the bell tower was completely redone in 1925. Later, damaged by a storm, it was repaired in 1960. Then further damaged by lightning in 1992, the roof of these bells is completely redone, a lightning arrester is finally installed there. The church underwent significant restorations at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th.
