The Pays du Der is one of the most beautiful natural landscapes of the Marne. Its turquoise lake like the sea water and its forest of oaks is an exotic setting, favourable to relaxation. This preserved nature constitutes a true ornithological reserve and shelters numerous species of birds. The cranes, emblematic species of Champagne, offer in particular a splendid spectacle of flight not to be missed at the edge of the lake.

A few steps away from the lake, in the middle of the Champagne bocage, the timber-framed villages preserve an authentic 16th century charm. They gather several buildings of yesteryear, including the monumental church of Outines. It is the largest church of a typical architecture, showing massive wooden beams and frames. Its mystical interior offers an original decor to be discovered during a commented visit.
