Sedan (Land of heroic deeds) The Ardennes massif is followed by a vast plain where the Meuse flows peacefully. This border region was at the crossroads of numerous invasions. Cities were fortified, castles became impregnable. History left a very heavy mark here. In the south, the landscape becomes softer, with a string of soothing undulations, a stark contrast to the battle that was fought there in 1870, in 1814, in 1940. Triggered?

Sedan is a historic city in the French Ardennes, located on the Meuse. The city is known for the Château de Sedan, the largest fortified castle in Europe12. Other major attractions include Saint Charles Church and Place Turenne. Sedan has a rich history, with influences from the Counts Van der Marck and the De la Tour d'Auvergne family. From 1547 to 1642, Sedan was a principality independent of the Kingdom of France. The city was a refuge for Protestants during the Reformation and played an important role in several wars.

This mighty fortress, the largest in Europe (35,000 m2, seven floors), was built on a rocky spur between the Bièvre and the Vra. The citadel is one of the oldest examples of French fortifications and could accommodate 4,000 soldiers. For five centuries, the fortress was strategically located between France and the Holy Roman Empire (and then Prussia and Germany) and was therefore constantly provided with new fortifications and thicker walls, while the existing structure was preserved. Wall 30 m high and up to 7.20 m thick with 4 bastions.

The largest fortified castle in Europe, this fortress is a must-see in Sedan. The rocky promontory on which it was erected offers beautiful views of the city and the Meuse.

Sedan is a princely city. This former principality is dominated by its immense fortified castle. It is the work of the princes of Sedan. It offers the possibility, by walking through its streets, to discover little-known episodes in the history of France. In addition to the heritage house and the castle, you will find beautiful green spaces and pleasant pedestrian streets.

Beautiful city with a fortress.

The chateau is very large and worth visiting. I especially liked the inside, it is partly furnished and with a background of noises, you get the feeling of staying in the middle of the castle residents.

The chateau was the highlight of our Sedan visit. Large facility with a beautiful view of the city.
