Tithe barn with typical stone façade, used as a covered market for Champagne fairs, tithe warehouse
Not far from the Place du Châtel, this 13th-century stone-fronted barn served as a covered market during the Champagne fairs. It comprised an upper floor used as a store, a lower room with a pointed vault and carved capitals, and several living rooms. In the 17th century, it was used as a tithe warehouse. In addition to its architecture, the house features mannequins representing merchants and trades of the Middle Ages: moneychanger, public letter-writer, potter, stonecutter, parchment-maker and more.

The ratings and reviews below reflect the subjective opinions of members and not the opinion of The Little Witty.
Characters of wax, an audio guide, that does not seem fascinating.
And yet the comment makes these characters lively and gives a feeling of " plongée" in history.
Very successful and for all ages
Cependant, visiter l'intérieur d'une ancienne grange, avec les reconstitutions de costumes et de scènes d'époque sont assez intéressantes et bien faites.
