Ecriennes

Few communities in Grand Est have a history as closely tied to the farming rhythms of Champagne as Écriennes. This small commune in the Marne department stands amid the open agricultural country north of Lac du Der-Chantecoq, France’s largest reservoir. Fields and scattered settlements define this quiet part of the Champagne plain, far from the region’s better-known wine towns. The nearby lake is an important stop for migratory birds and gives the surrounding countryside a markedly different character through the seasons.
