Good cafe for a quick coffee.

Located in the Aisne region, Septmonts Castle was originally the country residence of the bishops of Soissons. Built between the 12th and 16th centuries, it retains several original features, such as the so-called Saint-Louis Room. Visitors can discover a 14th-century keep and square tower, as well as a 16th-century Renaissance pavilion. Bombed during the First World War, Septmonts Castle is now classified as a historical monument for its chapel and keep, and an inscription for the rest of the buildings. The impressive keep is over forty meters high and consists of seven stories of complex architecture. Septmonts Castle itself is adorned with a park featuring an arboretum and an orchard. The entire complex is open to the public, and the Renaissance residence also hosts temporary exhibitions. Every June, the site hosts the Pic'Arts rock festival concerts.

An impressive half-timbered building made of oak. Except for two metal parts, it is made entirely of wood, with wooden dowels (no nails or screws). At the front, there is a washhouse and a well. According to https://www.reims-tourisme.com/activite/halle-de-lagery/: Built in 1543 in the center of the village of Lagery, the hall was dedicated to trade. From the 16th to the 18th century, there was a market every Tuesday and two or three annual fairs: agricultural markets, grain, wine, livestock, firewood, timber, building materials, industrial goods, etc. This building was listed as a historic monument in 1922. The hall, which was in danger of collapsing and had to be reinforced in 1983, was restored between 2003 and 2007. Since 2010, the town hall and the Lagery Festival Association have organized an arts and crafts market there every spring Sunday.

A beautiful drive into town – the roundabout with its fountain and flowers. Doesn't that make your heart sing? A lot is being done here to make the town look beautiful.

A tobacco bar as it should be! You can drink good coffee here!

A superb location in the Aisne countryside. A must-see...

The Donjon de Septmonts is a medieval tower in the French village of Septmonts, located near Soissons, in the Hauts-de-France region. The tower was built in the 14th century and was originally part of a castle that served as a residence for the bishops of Soissons. The tower is 47 meters high and has seven floors. It is a striking example of the princely style of the late 14th century, combining both military and residential functions. The tower is currently undergoing a restoration programme.

The castle of Fère-en-Tardenois is a former fortified castle, built from the beginning of the thirteenth century. It is characterized by the presence of a monumental covered bridge, spanning the ditch. A very pretty run alternating between historic ruins and wooded routes.
