Discover Montliot-Et-Courcelles

Montliot-Et-Courcelles brings together historical points of reference from different periods: buildings, art, Gallo-Roman remains, and a medieval stone. These include the Pont des Romains, the Église Saint-Didier, and the Chapelle Sainte-Anne in Courcelles. When planning your trip, you can explore the area through its building phases, religious art, or archaeological evidence. If you are looking for a hotel in Montliot-Et-Courcelles, you can first consider which of these themes will shape your trip most.

The Pont des Romains and its building history

The Seine runs through Montliot-Et-Courcelles and provides a geographical point of reference. The Pont des Romains, meanwhile, draws attention to a specific building history: it spans the communes of Étrochey, Montliot-et-Courcelles, and Vix. Its geographical reach therefore extends beyond Montliot-Et-Courcelles. Its main construction phase dates to the fourth quarter of the 17th century. Since December 29, 2021, the Pont des Romains has been listed as a historic monument. The construction phase and the listing represent different aspects: the former places the building’s history in time, while the latter indicates its protected status. This distinction is useful when comparing it with other historic buildings, since the date of construction and a later listing are not the same thing.

Churches, building phases, and art

The Église Saint-Didier dates from the 13th century and was altered in the 16th, 17th, and 18th centuries. A 16th-century stained-glass window depicts the coat of arms of Michel Boudet, Bishop of Langres. The window therefore dates to the same period as one of the mentioned phases of alteration; at the same time, it is a distinct work of art within the building’s longer history. You can explore the church through both its alterations and a specific detail.

The Chapelle Sainte-Anne in Courcelles offers a different point of emphasis in time. It dates from the 18th century and was altered in the 19th century. The painting “tableau: la croix présentée par les anges A l'Enfant Jésus” is recorded in the choir of the Chapelle Sainte-Anne in Courcelles; Jean Tassel created it around 1640. The painting therefore predates the century in which the chapel was built. The artwork’s date and the chapel’s building history are two distinct points of reference in time. The title identifies a religious subject; the artist’s name and approximate date give the painting its own art-historical context.

Archaeological traces and the Pierre des Morts

Gallo-Roman remains have been discovered in Montliot. This point of reference adds an earlier period to the building and art history. The Pierre des Morts is a medieval stone with 25 cup marks. These cup marks are small, round depressions in the stone. Two different kinds of historical evidence therefore stand alongside one another: a named site with Gallo-Roman remains and an individual medieval object with a precisely described form.
