A lovely initiative in the commune of Montreuil-sur-Barse has been set up by some of its inhabitants... a digital audio guide to discover the commune's history as you stroll around.
All you have to do is download the IziTravel application on your cell phone, then "Le parcours de l'écureuil" (thanks to geo-localization, the cell phone can find the route by itself once the IziTravel application is installed).
Here's the link: https://izi.travel/fr/3502-le-parcours-de-l-ecureuil/fr
You'll get a brief introduction to the village, followed by a description of 11 "tourist attractions" in the commune: the school, the town hall, the 14/18 monument, the church, the August 27, 1944 stele, the Nérot cross, Jean qui rit/Jean qui pleure, the Saint Gilles fountain, the washhouse, the chemin de la corvée, the Berthaut cross and the 16th-century Champagne checkerboard house. Explanations last around 20 minutes in all.
