In 1924, this memorial was erected in memory of the 22 soldiers and 12 civilians from Guignicourt who died during the First World War. The monument, located near the church, shows in relief a peasant couple mourning at a grave – a rare human and modest image rather than a classic military symbol. It recalls the deep suffering that the war left in this hard-hit municipality.

This church, built between the 11th and 13th centuries, is a fine example of transitional architecture between Romanesque and Gothic. It was built on the site of an earlier wooden church and possibly even a Gallo-Roman sanctuary. The construction was partly financed by the Abbey of Saint-Hubert (Belgium), which owned land in the region. The church has been protected as a historical monument since 1921.

Cormicy is a small commune located in the Grand Est region, in the Marne department, in northeastern France. Cormicy has a population of around 1,500 and is known for its history, particularly linked to the First World War, during which it was severely damaged. Today, the village retains a rural charm, with its historic buildings, churches and surrounding vineyards.

It is a historic building rebuilt in the 20th century after being destroyed during World War I. The church combines elements of Gothic and modern architecture, with stained glass windows that add a touch of beauty to the interior.

The Cormicy vineyards extend gently over the hills, creating a panorama of rare beauty, especially at sunset, when the vines take on golden hues. These vineyards, an integral part of the Champagne region, give the landscape a serene and picturesque atmosphere, making Cormicy an enchanting place for lovers of nature and good wine.

This is a historic building that was once a public wash house, where people came to wash their clothes and meet. The view of the Aisne, ponds and fields is breathtaking. Don't forget to take photos!
