Trois-Fontaines-l'Abbaye

Trois-Fontaines-l'Abbaye covers 143.71 square kilometers at 188 meters elevation with 195 inhabitants, featuring rural landscapes of agricultural lands and preserved wetlands supporting local biodiversity conservation efforts.

Founded around a 12th-century Benedictine abbey named after three prominent water sources, the commune preserves monastic ruins and religious architectural elements reflecting its medieval ecclesiastical heritage.

The Friends of Trois-Fontaines Sites association organizes summer Abbey Sundays featuring craft workshops, guided tours, and artisan markets that strengthen community connections while promoting historical awareness.

Accessible via departmental roads from Vitry-le-François, the commune provides basic public services under Mayor Étienne Gaillard's administration with designated parking areas for visitors and residents.

The former abbey's Grand Pavilion underwent complete roof restoration completed in October 2024 with support from regional cultural authorities and the Champagne-Ardenne Heritage Foundation.
