On market days there is a lot of activity here!

As a memorial to the endless number of war dead, such a “Cimetiere militaire” – in German they are usually referred to as a “war cemetery” or “soldiers' cemetery” – 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 many people buried here by no means died in peace, but rather became victims of war and an inhumane tyranny. The most important and at the same time enduring function of military or honorary cemeteries or war cemeteries is to keep the memory of this suffering alive and - every generation anew (!) - to remind us of the lasting preservation of peace.

A touching, evocative place that, like so many in France, recalls the misery of the world wars (in this case the first).

Since you don't often come across larger towns along the cycle path, Chateau-Thierry is a good place to take a break or to get provisions.

Lovely park with nice apple trees, a washhouse with art representing the fable The lion and the hunting donkey. Part of The Fabulous Labyrinth.

The monument is dedicated to the two battles of the Marne. The site was chosen by Marshal Foch. The ossuary contains the bones of 1,500 unknown soldiers. In front of the chapel you have a magnificent view of the Marne Valley.

The 19th century town hall of Château-Thierry is located here. From the higher medieval castle walls you can enjoy a wonderful view of the city and the town hall.

A beautiful foot and bike path runs along the banks of the Marne. You have a beautiful view of the water and the town of Château-Thierry.
