Commune of Aube, Grand Est region, Villenauxe-la-Grande is located on the edge of the Seine-et-Marne and Marne, between Brie and Champagne. It takes place about sixty kilometers from Troyes, and is the first city of the Champagne route.
The old Villonisa was born in the Gallo-Roman era, but really developed from the sixteenth century following the royal authorization of Francis I to fortify the city. Long under the influence of the Augustinians and Benedictines of the abbey of Nesle-la-Reposte, it becomes a seigniorial residence in the seventeenth century. The viticultural town suffers a decline of its activity in the nineteenth century, before turning to tourism thanks to its rich cultural and architectural heritage.
Even today, Villenauxe-la-Grande seduces passing visitors with its wine, its landscapes and its authentic charm.
