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.

Not the most beautiful monument in Château-Thierry, but perhaps the most original...

As a memorial to the endless number of war dead, such a “Cimetiere militaire” – in German they are usually referred to as a “war cemetery” or “soldiers' cemetery” – is still very important today. "Now you, O Lord, let your servant depart in peace, as you said..." says the so-called "Song of Simeon" (Gospel of Luke chapter 2, verse 29). However, the many people buried here by no means died in peace, but rather became victims of war and an inhumane tyranny. The most important and at the same time enduring function of military or honorary cemeteries or war cemeteries is to keep the memory of this suffering alive and - every generation anew (!) - to remind us of the lasting preservation of peace.

A touching, evocative place that, like so many in France, recalls the misery of the world wars (in this case the first).

Since you don't often come across larger towns along the cycle path, Chateau-Thierry is a good place to take a break or to get provisions.

The monument is dedicated to the two battles of the Marne. The site was chosen by Marshal Foch. The ossuary contains the bones of 1,500 unknown soldiers. In front of the chapel you have a magnificent view of the Marne Valley.
