Bailly-aux-Forges is a village in the Haute-Marne very pleasant to visit. The vernacular houses are still present, redone with taste, or waiting for the hand of man to repair its damage. Centenarians for the most part, the time spent strips the fine work, but it makes it possible to understand the extraordinary ingenuity of the ancients to build their wooden dwellings.
The well was once the only drinking water supply. In the years before 1950, the villages did not have running water or bottled water; All the inhabitants drank the water from the well.
