The Balhan clock tower in Château-Thierry in the Aisne region of France is the only remaining feature of an important medieval urban building.

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...

A cute little market square with a pretty town hall!

Colomban of Luxeuil, also known as Saint Colomban, was an Irish monk who evangelized the rural populations of Gaul, Germany, Helvetia and Italy in the Middle Ages. In the life of Saint Colomban, written around 640, the monk Jonas of Bobbio indicates that Colomban and his companions were welcomed by the family of Authaire, an aristocrat at the court of Austrasia. The domus where this servant of Théodebert (or Thibert), king of Austrasia and friend of Colomban, resided, is said to be located in the commune of Ussy-sur-Marne. In the church, a 19th-century stained glass window reminds us of this meeting. The church is listed as a Historic Monument for its nave dating from the 11th and 12th centuries, as well as for the stained glass windows of its chapel of the Virgin dating from the 16th century.
