Dormans

Beside the Marne river, laid-back Dormans is known for its quaint town center, views of vine-clad hills, and champagne houses. Pizzerias, bars, and bistros line a stretch of the D3 highway. The Château de Dormans has landscaped gardens and an ecomuseum in a former mill, while the Romanesque-style Église St. Hippolyte dates to the 11th century. The Mémorial de la Bataille de la Marne chapel commemorates WWI.
