The faithful trust in the help of the Mother of God – who in France is always venerated under the title “Notre-Dame” (which corresponds to the German name “Our Lady”) – was expressed by the French nun, mystic and Doctor of the Church, Saint Thérèse of Lisieux (religious name Thérèse of the Child Jesus and the Holy Face, 1873 to 1897) as follows: “In trials or difficulties I turn to Mother Mary, whose gaze alone is enough to dispel all fear.”

Deserves to be ranked among the most beautiful villages in France. (in our opinion)

Don't hesitate to take advantage of the surrounding forests

La Neuville-aux-Joûtes is a small green village, crossed by the “Le Gland” stream, a tributary of the Oise. Labeled a “3-star” village (protection of the sky and the nocturnal environment) and a “3-flower” flower village, the environment exudes calm and simple beauty.

The fortified church of Plomion is one of the most remarkable in Thiérache. Completely renovated and freely accessible upstairs, since June 25, 2022, it was built in bricks and stands on the foundations of an old church, where a permanent garrison was stationed. This church is the "finished" type of fortress church which includes all the elements of fortification: tower, keep, turrets, watchtowers and a set of more than 60 loopholes including 42 on the keep! Numerous geometric patterns in vitrified bricks such as hearts and diamonds adorn the building.
