Ideal territories for a year-round offer
The typical characteristics of the natural regions of Nogent (clay and limestone soil, North of the Aube), the Champagne plains (chalky soil, South of the Aube), the Bassée (very sandy soil, South-East of the Seine and Marne), and the Provinois (clay soil, South of the Seine and Marne), allow us to propose you a French offer almost all year round.
