Via Francigena: During this stage, a stop in Bar-sur-Aube is a must. Situated on a north-south axis, the town acquired strategic importance and the status of a commercial centre during the period of the Counts of Champagne. The latter had indeed guaranteed the security of the merchants and set up an adapted logistical organisation that contributed to the development of Bar-sur-Aube as a commercial centre. Thus, from mid-February to mid-April, traders from Flanders and Italy exchanged oriental spices, silk, textiles and raw materials from Northern Europe. The architecture of the town bears witness to this past activity.

This serious road offers a great reward to those who take it. You will be amazed by the splendid panorama of the vineyards. If you visit it in autumn, you will be dazzled by the colors of the leaves turning orange and red.

Two rivers cross the pretty town of Bar-sur-Aube. These are the Aube river which gives its name to the department and the Bresse. Numerous Champagne vineyard hillsides surround it, which makes it a renowned place for the production of champagne.

Situated at an altitude of 349 metres, Sainte-Germaine Hill offers a magnificent view of the entire valley from the orientation table. The remains of the embankments and ditches of a Gallic oppidum, called the "Roman camp", still remain. Traces of ancient fortifications can also be seen. A chapel is dedicated to Sainte-Germaine.

A climb with with coarse gravel, especially near the top. The steepest part of the climb consists of a concrete road. I did the climb with 32mm tyres and I had to walk parts of the climb due the coarse gravel. So I only would recommend it when you are on a mountainbike or gravelbike with wide tyres. You can skip the coarsest gravel at the top by riding through the grass of the left vineyard.
