Baroville offers several distinct reasons to stay: the Église Saint-Étienne and its architectural history, a nature area with an educational trail, a 5.5-kilometre circular walking route, and Champagne experiences. If you are looking for a hotel in Baroville, you can first decide whether to focus on cultural history, nature or Champagne production.

A Church with History and Art

The origins of the Église Saint-Étienne date back to the 12th century. In the 18th century, it was rebuilt in the form of a rectangular hall. The church building’s historical reference points therefore range from its medieval origins to a later architectural form. The church is also home to “Sainte Catherine,” a polychrome, gilded wooden statue from the 18th century. On 20 October 1975, it was protected as a movable object. This timeline links the building’s origins with its reconstruction and the creation of the artwork; 1975 marks the statue’s protected status. Architectural history and religious art thus stand alongside one another as two specific cultural and historical themes.

Nature in Baroville

The Espace Naturel “Derrière le Moulin” offers a different focus. It covers 2,400 square metres of preserved landscape and is open to everyone. An outdoor educational trail with information panels explores local wildlife and plant life. The area and panels highlight two aspects: preserved landscape on the one hand, and informative nature education on the other. If you would also like to explore local wildlife and plant life during your trip, this place offers a dedicated way to do so. Check the current conditions on site before your visit.

Hiking and Guided Walks

There are different ways to get out and explore on foot. The PR6® “Les points de vue de Baroville” circular walking route is 5.5 kilometres long. Champagne de Barfontarc offers guided walks through the vineyards, either on foot or on an all-terrain electric scooter. The difference lies in the format: a named loop with a set distance, or a guided walk with two modes of transport on offer. You can consider which way of getting around best suits your plans. Check the PR6® conditions before setting out, and confirm the current booking arrangements for the walks before your trip.

Champagne Houses and Tastings

The Champagne experiences complement the nature and cultural themes with insights into production. Champagne Philippe Fourrier is a family Champagne house established in 1847; its Champagne-making know-how has been passed down through five generations. A guided tour includes the presses, the fermentation room and the cellar. The stages of winemaking are presented, and tastings are part of the offering. The combination of family history and insights into the different areas of production is especially interesting if you are interested in the tradition and production process behind Champagne.

Champagne de Barfontarc also offers tours of its facilities and Champagne tastings. These tours are a separate offering from the guided walks through the vineyards. As booking arrangements may change, you should confirm the current conditions with the houses before your trip.
