Bourgogne-Fresne

Tourism, holidays & weekends guide in the Marne

Village de la Marne, Bourgogne is a small town of more than 1000 inhabitants which takes place in the district of Reims. It takes its name from the Burgundians who settled there before the 12th century.

The municipality, decorated with the cross of war 1914-1918, suffered greatly during the First World War and underwent many destruction during this period. Despite its damage, the village of Bourgogne still unveils today an architectural and historical heritage of great interest to discover the time of a stay in the region.

Set in the countryside, Bourgogne also offers a number of signposted hikes to enjoy the local flora and fauna, while its proximity to Reims offers great tourist opportunities.

Things to see and do

Classified as Historic Monuments, the Church of St. Peter and St. Paul was built between the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. Partly rebuilt following the destruction of the First World War, the building still unveils today a Romanesque tower, a Gothic nave, or a triumphal arch of Romanesque style. Note that the chapel dedicated to the Virgin dates from the sixteenth century.

In the cemetery which surrounds the church of Bourgogne, one can see an imposing crypt of the twentieth century which unveils a decoration all in marble mosaic and color. This mausoleum was a veritable pilgrimage for the German soldiers during the occupation of the Second World War in the 1940s.

Walking through the village, you will discover some vestiges of the ancient ramparts, as well as a tomb dating from the Tene, also called Second Iron Age.

Events and festivities

On July 14, the village offers a torchlight retreat, a ball, and a fireworks display.

Hiking is offered during the summer.
