The sixth section of the Via Francigena goes from Bar-sur-Aube to Langres. While you are leaving the Champagne region, the landscape is slightly changing. Even if it is still rural, you can now see small valleys, as you are heading towards Southeast. The route will cross more woodland than the previous sections, as the farmlands will be rarer. The route starts following the river Aube, passing through the beautiful city of Bar-sur-Aube, and its beautiful mill of Marcasselles. Highlights of this trip are the typical architecture of the small town of Bar-sur-Aube, the Clairvaux Abbey, the Cathedral Saint-Mammes and the statue of Denis Diderot in Langres.
Your way on the Via Francigena is made easy by sign posting, the red and white strips. Also, in our holiday pack is included detailed walking notes and maps making navigation even easier.
Following the footsteps of centuries of pilgrim, you will stay in 1,2,3 star hotel, and farmstay accommodation all en-suite. We transfer your luggage from hotel to hotel so you can travel comfortably with just a small backpack.
