Chamoy: Church, Routes and Vélorail

The details differ considerably: some describe architecture and features, while others specify route length, duration or a particular road layout. This allows you to plan your trip around what interests you most.

Church of the Immaculate Conception: History and Features

The Church of the Immaculate Conception was built at the beginning of the 16th century and extended in the 19th century. The nave was extended and the bell tower was built between 1828 and 1830. A radiating wooden ceiling was installed as part of this work; there are few examples of such ceilings in France. Several construction phases and a rare architectural detail are therefore among the church’s defining features.

The furnishings in the south chapel also mark a particular period: it contains a three-tier stone altarpiece dating from 1539. Fragments of Renaissance stained glass have been preserved in the choir and the south chapel. The church’s history and furnishings thus offer different ways to explore it: the building’s extensions on the one hand, and the altarpiece and stained glass on the other.

Routes, the Village Layout and Heritage Sites

The Circuit de Couloure is described as 4.7 kilometres long and taking 1 hour and 15 minutes. These details come from a 2013 tourist brochure; route information may be updated in future editions. Check the details before setting out. The masonry Source des Caves is also located along the Circuit de Couloure, providing a specific landmark on the route described.

For the Circuit de Pirancey, the description focuses on its route: it reaches Chamoy on the D23 and then follows this road through the village. This differs from the information provided for the Circuit de Couloure, which gives a specific route length and duration and includes the Source des Caves. Local heritage sites also include washhouses with gabled roofs.

Vélorail, Paths Along the Railway and Fishing

The Vélorail de l’Aube includes the Gare de Chamoy-Saint-Phal and the vélorails. If you are planning a ride, check the current operating dates in advance. The path beside the railway line is a separate feature: walking and cycling are possible along Line 26. These are two distinct topics—the vélorails on the one hand and the path alongside the railway line on the other.

Cycling also appears in local information in different contexts: as an activity on the path beside Line 26 and as a possible excursion along a route. Fishing is listed as an activity at the La Trémagne stream in Chamoy. If you plan to fish, check the applicable conditions in advance.

Consider which of these will shape your trip planning, then look for a hotel that suits your stay.
