外からしか見られないのが残念な、とても美しい水城

It's not uncommon to find a Monument aux Morts in the immediate vicinity of the local church, which here boasts a very defensive-looking facade – the church's two massive, round towers could easily be imagined as part of a castle's fortifications. These monuments, found in almost every town, still serve an important dual function in the 21st century: They keep the memory of the victims of war and tyranny alive and thus serve as a constant reminder of peace.

Rivers and canals crisscross the country, the latter in particular being a crucial part of the transport infrastructure in earlier times. Later, first rail, and later again trucks, took over the task of transporting goods. In the competition between different modes of transport, they were faster and cheaper than barges – and thus more efficient. When building the artificial waterways, however, it had to be taken into account that differences in elevation always had to be overcome, and so locks are often lined up along the canals – at varying intervals, depending on the local situation. Only with their help was shipping possible.

This is really an insider tip. A very beautiful and tranquil corner. I fell in love with Cosne very quickly. A really great city.

Beautiful place. Well maintained.

Cosne-Cours totally surprised us - no empty streets in the evening, but bustling activity. - Locals! The tourist season had not yet ended - thank you for letting us be there. We'll be back.

Hopefully the cinema will remain preserved for a long time - a wonderful witness to our times!

Cosne-Cours is very special! A great town, friendly residents - people live here - and it has retained a lovely charm.
