Chaource is a pretty village located at the sources of Armance, in a land of grove. This is the country of gastronomes.

He is known far and wide for his cheese made from cow's milk, cast in a ladle...

Chaource offers visitors an exceptional natural environment conducive to relaxation and recreation... The forest of Aumont whose undergrowth is home to many animal and plant species preserved, spread over 14 000 hectares, a network of beautiful paths that invite the hiker to discover its riches, on foot, on horseback or by bike.

Some half-timbered houses still testify to a distant Middle Ages, the hills are covered with meadows, orchards "cider" and fields cultivated in a variegated patchwork. Take a tour of the Saint-Jean-Baptiste Church and admire its many bas-reliefs from different eras.
