Signy-l'abbeye is a pleasant town with two hotels and, for the region, quite a few amenities, an ATM and a small supermarket. There is a large (walking) forest to the west and you will also find a campsite there. The church was built in 1900 on the site of a 16th century shrine. There was a Cistercian abbey here between 1135 and 1793.

The medieval west facade of the église Notre-dame was reinforced in the 17th century with a heavy rectangular keep with machicolations, battlements, skylights and loopholes. A bas-relief in tête-bêche (honor print) at the entrance depicts Good and Evil. The octagonal tower at the chancel has a staircase to an attic above the chancel.

The 17th century Saint-Rémy church is one of the fortified churches of Thiérache. The exterior has this robust appearance that is typical of fortified churches. A fortified square tower is located in the left corner of the nave. It is pierced with cannon and loopholes. The villagers could flee upstairs via a spiral staircase in case of danger. The tower is connected to a raised attic. A well and a bread oven completed the reception system. The tower was accessed via a staircase partly in the nave, partly in the partial round tower attached to it. Powerful buttresses strengthen the structure.

Actually, in the French-speaking world, such a CROIX is not called a CALVAIRE, because the latter are not individual crosses, but - usually lavishly decorated - crucifixion groups with rich figural decoration. But at this point, those driving past are invited to take a short break by an obviously lovingly maintained and worth seeing crossroads. The small sacred monument rises above the stone base. The cross has a body, i.e. the figure of Jesus Christ, above his head is the tablet with the four letters “INRI” as a (Latin) abbreviation for “Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews”.

This church was dedicated to Saint Peter (Saint Pierre). Simon, nicknamed Petrus (rock), was a fisherman on Lake Genesareth when he - together with his brother Andreas - was called by Jesus Christ to be a "fisherman of men". According to the Catholic understanding he is the highest apostle, and the two millennia long line of popes - currently Francis - are in his successor. On statues and paintings Peter is almost always shown with two keys in his hand, this attribute refers to the Bible verse in Matthew: “I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; what you will bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and what you will loosen on earth will be loosened in heaven ”(Chapter 16, verse 19). Together with Paul, Peter is also known as the "princes of the apostles", their common feast day in the saints' calendar is on June 29th.

Saint Martin, to whom the church of Aubigny-Les-Pothees is dedicated, is - next to Saint Nicholas - probably one of the most popular saints of all. The memorial day of the former officer in the Roman army is November 11th. On the night after the famous “coat sharing”, when he surrendered half his army cloak to a freezing beggar, Jesus Christ appears to him in a dream. He then converted to Christianity and was later elected Bishop of Tours (France) - initially against his will.
