ドンマルタン-バリモン周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ5

Here, in 1792, during the Battle of Valmy, French troops stood against the Prussian armies. A simple windmill on a hill… which became a symbol of resistance.

Part of the Team Rynkeby Berlin tour in 2024. Nice spot for a break.

One of the many memorials to those who fell during the First World War. Next door is the small church of Saint Maurice.

Very pleasant to drive due to the good surface and little traffic. With a bit of luck, a TGV will rush under you on the bridge.

In the Pois area, the Battle of the Catalaunian Fields took place. During the battle Theodoric fell and was buried in this burial mound (excavations have not provided 100% proof). More information here: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schlacht_auf_den_Katalaunische_Feldern

Even the dirt roads are in perfect condition and great for riding with racing bikes. In terms of landscape, you can mainly see rapeseed fields here in spring.

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.

This is where the heart of the patriots beats. In 1792 there was war between the Prussian contingent of the anti-French coalition and the French revolutionary army - the Prussians withdrew.
