Dampierre
The “Isaac de Dampierre” fresco, created in June 2022, tells the story of Dampierre’s medieval Jewish heritage and highlights the figure of Isaac de Dampierre, a key figure in the history of the Jewish community from the time of the Counts of Champagne in the 12th century.
This fresco is the first of a future slowtourism circuit, which will be extended in 2023 with the creation of two other frescoes in Ramerupt and Lhuître, followed by around twenty others in the villages of Aube. The written word, the fruit of the intellectual work bequeathed to us by the Wise Men of Champagne, is the common thread running through the Fresco Circuit.
With its original conception, this committed initiative puts the spotlight on rural communities through an unexpected collaborative historical, artistic, cultural, tourist and civic project that brings people together around strong values: sharing, intellectual openness, artistic curiosity, the fight against stereotypes, racism and anti-Semitism.
