Our town will guide you through its rich history.

Visit the remains of the Château de Bar-sur-Seine, the ruins of a medieval fortified castle destroyed in the 17th century. Jeanne de Navarre, Queen of France and wife of Philip the Fair was born here in 1273. The historic importance of the castle was due to its position on the frontier between Champagne (a vassal County of the King of France) and Burgundy (a Duchy allied with the English) during the Hundred Years War. At the time, the Château de Bar-sur-Seine was considered the most important in Burgundy.

You can walk along the river Seine that since the Middle Ages serves as a trade route. From the hall and the market, which is still held here on Friday morning, we find the first mention in 1275.

Take a stroll along the old half-timbered houses in the city centre, the oldest dates from the 14th century! Step inside the church of St-Etienne and note the remarkable stained glass windows and the breath-taking classic organ.
