Departing from the Provins Tourist Office

The itinerary starts in the car park of the Provins Tourist Office, also welcoming horseboxes and lorries. Leaving the car park turn left, cross the D231 secondary road and begin your excursion along a tractor track, then a lovely grassy path. At the end, turn left towards the road. Take your time crossing the N19 trunk road: heavy traffic, but excellent visibility. Follow the lane snaking prettily up and down through the fields. On your left, you can see the dome of Saint-Quiriace de Provins collegiate church. Built during the 12th century, it was never completed due to financial difficulties under Philip the Fair. The 17th-century dome was constructed following the collapse of the transept crossing. And also the Tour César tower: crenelated during the Middle Ages, it was covered in the 16th and 17th centuries.
