Beautiful church in this small village.

In the forest south of Saint-Nicolas-Aux-Bois, we encounter a small sacred monument, which, based on its intention, can be classified as a memorial cross. The metal cross located at the top of the monument, surrounded by trees, is comparatively small in relation to the towering, divided shaft. The base of the "Croix Sézinne" consists of two (three if you count the transition) stone elements: a square shaft at the bottom, a slightly projecting, tapered connecting piece in the middle section, and above it, a round shaft that supports the actual cross.

Beautiful church

The Croix Sézinne in Saint-Nicolas-Aux-Bois is a historic monument located in the Saint-Gobain forest, in the Aisne department, in France. This is a cross which commemorates a medieval conflict between the monks of the neighboring abbey and the local lords.

The remains of the abbey of Saint-Nicolas aux Bois were founded in the 11th century by two hermits and had a turbulent history of wars, fires and reforms. It was suppressed during the French Revolution and sold as national property. Today you can see the remains of the tower, walls and buildings of the abbey, which are protected as historical monuments. The abbey is surrounded by woods and fields, offering a variety of trails for different levels of runners. You can explore the history and architecture of the abbey or enjoy the panoramic views of the countryside. The remains of the abbey of Saint-Nicolas aux Bois are an ideal destination for running.

The Grotte des Trois Enfants in Suzy is an interesting place to discover during a hike in the Saint-Gobain forest. It is a large cave with several entrances and paths, the origin of which remains mysterious. You can admire the rock formations and the vegetation that grows there. The cave is located near the Saint-Rémi church, a historic monument from the 12th century.

If you are looking for a peaceful and picturesque hike in Aisne, you can visit Les Quatre Sergeants in Suzy, a small village which was destroyed during the First World War and subsequently rebuilt. You can discover the history and culture of this place which houses a monument dedicated to the four sergeants executed in 1822 for their participation in a plot against the Bourbon monarchy. You can also enjoy the natural beauty of the marshy terrain, ponds and the Ailette River which runs through the village.
