Musee de la Grande Guerre

Reviewed By keithhd888 - London, United Kingdom

The way the museum is laid out is different, from the battlefield sound track that plays as you walk through the gate from the car park to walking alongside soldiers going into battle. The soldiers in the glass cases have some half out as though you are walking with them. A lot of the written information is in |French but I believe you can download an app to pick it up in other languages. The displays take you from the late 1800's through to the rise of Hitler, very well thought out.

La Grange aux Dimes

“Provins at the time of the Fairs of Champagne”This is a former merchant house. Dating from the 13th century, it is one of the most sumptuous buildings of Provins. Admire the sophisticated architecture of the rooms, sculpted capitals and the cross-rib vaults. This edifice was used as a covered market during the Fairs of Champagne up to the end of the 13th century, then as the place for paying tithes. Today, the Tithe Barn houses a permanent exhibition: scenes and characters bring to life the main crafts and the merchant activities of this time. Audio-guided visits available in exchange for identity papers.

Well designed attraction. The 4€30 entry free includes a self guided audio guide available in English or French. Very informative for all ages and great reconstructed occupations shown in period settings (see photos). Set over two floors with steep stairs to negotiate. IMHO this is the best attraction in the city.
