Cour-l'Évêque

Cour-l'Évêque covers approximately 19 square kilometers of rolling countryside at an elevation of 308 meters, with the Aujon river flowing through its southern boundaries and traditional farmhouses dotting the agricultural landscape.

The commune's name suggests medieval ecclesiastical origins, though specific historical records remain limited, with the area maintaining its agricultural character for centuries within the traditional rural settlement patterns of northeastern France.

Local residents known as Curépiscopiens celebrate regional traditions through seasonal festivals and agricultural markets, showcasing Haute-Marne specialties including Langres cheese, Volailles de Bourgogne poultry, and regional Champagne varieties.

The town hall operates on Tuesdays from 14:30 to 16:30 and Fridays from 18:00 to 19:00, providing civil registration services and administrative procedures, with residents accessing postal services through nearby Arc-en-Barrois.
