Discovering the Champagne region – nature, wine and heritage in the Aube
Explore the charm of the Champagne region, far from the hustle and bustle.
La Découverte Trouvée is located in Auxon, in the heart of the Aube, a lesser-known but authentic region of Champagne in France. Here, a region unfolds where nature, history, gastronomy, and craftsmanship come together in a landscape that invites you to slow down.
The surroundings offer no mass tourism, but space. Forests, vineyards, villages, and historic cities together form a region that can be discovered at a relaxed pace, without a fixed itinerary.
Experience nature at your own pace
he surroundings of Auxon belong to the Pays d’Othe, a gently rolling landscape of orchards, fields and extensive woodland. The nearby Forêt d’Aumont offers walking paths suitable for both short strolls and longer hikes.
Secondary roads provide scenic cycling routes between small villages and open countryside. Rivers such as the Seine create opportunities for canoeing and peaceful water excursions.
Less than an hour away lies the Parc naturel régional de la Forêt d’Orient, home to Lac d’Orient, Lac du Temple and Lac d’Amance. These lakes combine swimming areas, walking trails, bird reserves and water activities, complementing a stay in the Aube.
Taste the soul of the region
About a forty-minute drive away lies Troyes , a historic city known for its half-timbered houses, cobblestone streets, and Gothic churches. The Saint-Pierre-et-Saint-Paul Cathedral and the Museum of Modern Art serve as cultural anchors within a lively city center with cafes, markets, and artisan shops.
The Aube is also known for its viticulture. In Les Riceys , the only village in France with three AOCs, refined champagnes are produced, including the Rosé des Riceys. Small champagne houses offer tastings by appointment, often led by the producer themselves.
In addition to champagne, cider from the Pays d'Othe, regional dishes, and local markets are part of the gastronomic landscape. Markets in Troyes, Chaource, and Ervy-le-Châtel bring producers and visitors together directly.
Slow down, relax and recharge
The region around La Découverte Trouvée lends itself to slow travel and stillness. Forest bathing in the Forêt d'Aumont , quiet walks along country lanes, and moments by the water create space to disconnect from daily routines.
For those seeking wellness, Bourbonne-les-Bains is about an hour's drive away, known for its thermal baths and hot springs. The region invites you to take a digital break, read, walk, and simply be present.
Discovering the Aube means not seeing everything, but leaving room for what presents itself along the way. A landscape that seeks no spectacle, but peace and character.
