Circuit of 80 Km. The Tardenois is part of these very old countries already known to the era gallo-romaine. It spreads himself between the Vesle to the North and Marls it to the South. It finishes at the East with the forest plateau of the Mountain of Reims and to the West to the limits of the Orxois, Valois and Soissonnais. If the Roman churches constitute the principal characteristic of this small region, the country conceals many other treasures, sites, landscapes, men that aujourd?hui again do it to live and that we leave yourself the pleasure to discover. Although the origins of certain parishes be very old, the religious constructions that exist are not previous to the XIème century. Most of the Roman churches of the circuit were enlarged, modified, or remade in left for a posterior era, be at the XIIème century, be at the XV and XVI, be after the World War, which differentiates the churches. The typical outline of these monuments defines themselves by a steeple around of which focus a nave (where musters itself the community) and the sanctuary (where is placed the altar and where is held the clergy). FISMES, the one of the bigger cities of the tardenois, is a former châtellenie of the Counts of Champagne. The kings of France on the way for the coronation of Reims had for habit of there to stop off. His church, dedicated to Holy macre, was built to the XIème century and destroyed to five returns, so the region was exposed to the invasion ravagings.
