Choiseul

Commune of Haute-Marne (52240) of 75 inhabitants, cradle of the family of the same name.
Birthplace of Mr. Yves Simon, singer-songwriter

Choiseul is a village with a captivating past, where history intertwines with local legends and influential figures. This place notably gave its name to the prestigious Choiseul family, which marked the history of France, notably with Étienne-François de Choiseul, minister under Louis XV. The village still bears the traces of this noble link through its heritage, although its daily life remains anchored in rural simplicity. With its old houses and peaceful alleys, Choiseul embodies a kind of historical charm, where the aristocratic heritage mixes with the quiet and bucolic life of today's village.
