Drinking water source at the playground in Château-Thierry on the banks of the Marne on the V52.

On market days there is a lot of activity here!

Jean de La Fontaine was a French writer. He is considered one of the greatest classics in French literature, and some of his fables are still familiar to every French schoolchild today. He was born on July 8, 1621, in Château-Thierry. Here on the banks of the Marne River stands this sculpture, depicting some of the characters and animals from his fables.

The cycle path runs directly along the banks of the Marne.

Not the most beautiful monument in Château-Thierry, but perhaps the most original...

The castle ruins are quite large. Only the advanced structures of the important 13th-century castle remain today. The keep itself was destroyed in the 15th century.

The history of Chézy-sur-Marne is closely linked to that of its abbey. The town was even called Chézy-l'Abbaye until the French Revolution. Today, only ruins of the building remain on the town square.

The Mont de Bonneil trail takes you through the Marne valley, Champagne vineyards and well-preserved villages. You will see millstone habitats, picturesque churches, wash houses and beautiful fountains all along the route. The trail is ideal for running. The best times to visit are from March to October, when the weather is mild and the views are magnificent.
