The Grand church is worth a stop. It offers a curious contrast between the massive tower of its facade and its delicate bell tower.

As a memorial to the many dead, such a “MONUMENT AUX MORTS” (usually called a “cenotaph” or “war memorial” in German-speaking countries) is still very important today. "Now you, O Lord, let your servant depart in peace, as you said..." says the so-called "Song of Simeon" (Gospel of Luke chapter 2, verse 29). However, the people who are remembered here did not die in peace, but rather became victims of war and tyranny. Many places and monuments that you encounter along the way are a testament to the horror of war and tyranny - which is still significant and relevant today. They all have, and this is new for each generation, two essential functions: -1- Commemorate and remember the victims -2- Call for the preservation of peace

The Castle of Grandpré is located in Grandpré, in the Ardennes, France. It was built by the Joyeuse, Counts of Grandpré, at the end of the 16th century and the beginning of the 17th century. For a long time, the place has been strategically located on the northern slope of the Aire valley, controlling one of the rare passages that cross the Argonne forest. This is the Grandpré passage.

The famous Valmy mill, which symbolizes the French victory over the Prussians at the Battle of Valmy in 1792, was destroyed on the evening of the battle itself by order of Kellermann, because it offered an ideal target for the enemy. A second mill was built and then demolished in 1831. In anticipation of the 150th anniversary of the battle of Valmy, the mayor of the village, André Procureur, decides to reinstall a mill in Valmy thanks to a national subscription. The mill then comes from Attiches. The work, which began in 1939, was interrupted by the war and a temporary roof was installed. Work resumed after the war and the mill was inaugurated on September 20, 1947.
