A characteristic of houses in Provins are the lower rooms (les salles basse) with arcades and columns used as covered market during The Fairs of Champagne. La Grange is like a time machine. Visiting it you will be surrounded by the spirit of ancient times ;The large room with crossed-ribbed vaulting resting on capitals adorned with foliage it`s full of life : merchants selling their goods ,artisans working the wool ,the stone or leather, an ancient banker,a lady dressed a l`italienne.You can enjoy all this due to a very good audioquide
