Discover Taissy

Taissy offers several clearly distinct points of interest to help you choose a place to stay: Notre-Dame Church, a historic castle, a self-service electric bicycle rental station, and its connection to the Natura 2000 site “les marais de la Vesle en amont de Reims.”

Notre-Dame de Taissy

Notre-Dame de Taissy Church was built from the 10th century onwards and completed in the 12th century. It is Romanesque and has a five-sided apse. The church also contains a rood beam dating from the 18th century. This gives you three distinct points of reference: the construction chronology, the architectural classification and its specifically named apse shape, and a later-dated feature. The age of the rood beam should not be confused with the period during which the church was built.

The information about the church answers different questions: its construction period places it in its historical context, “Romanesque” describes its architectural classification, and the five-sided apse identifies a specific design feature. The rood beam is an additional, separately dated feature. For choosing where to stay, this means Notre-Dame can be considered not only in terms of its age, but also its form and a feature dating from a later period.

17th-century castle

Another historic feature of Taissy is a castle that can still be seen today. It was built in the 17th century by a member of the Colbert family. The construction periods are clearly distinct: Notre-Dame was built from the 10th century onwards and completed in the 12th century, while the castle dates from the 17th century. If you use historic buildings as a reason to choose a destination, Taissy offers two different periods. The castle’s connection to a member of the Colbert family adds another specific historical reference to its date.

Electric bicycle rental

There is a Zébullo self-service electric bicycle rental station at Place de la Mairie. Two specific details are useful when planning your trip: the bicycles are electric, and the rental service is self-service. If renting a bicycle is part of your plans, this gives you a specific location for the service. It complements the historical points of reference offered by the church and castle with a practical feature focused on rentals.

Natura 2000 site near Taissy

Taissy is part of the Natura 2000 site “les marais de la Vesle en amont de Reims,” which covers 466 hectares. This offers a different way to consider the area than its historic buildings or bicycle rental: the focus here is its connection to a designated natural area. The area figure applies to the entire Natura 2000 site, not Taissy alone. If nature and landscape conservation are factors in choosing your destination, you can consider this connection as a distinct theme alongside Taissy’s historic features.
