Tips from the Community
"God loves every soul with an undying love. He approaches each one with repeated, unspeakably patient offers of redemption. Even a small sign of love is enough for him to forgive and redeem. Our dear departed ones lacked a life preserver for the body; but the spiritual life preserver was not lacking, the breath of God in which the soul can clothe itself in a tiny moment, much more quickly than the body could." (Text by Albino Luciani / Pope John Paul I)

Tergnier where Art Deco is omnipresent. Its most representative examples are Place Carnégie (classified as a historic monument), the Town Hall and the Fargniers church. The media library, a former station buffet, is a site that became historic with the arrival of Victor Hugo in 1870 who had his first meal on French soil there upon his return from exile. The bell tower of the Veltin school, visible from rue de la Famille Sauvage (Quessy-Cité), still indicates the time of the bombing which ravaged the city on the night of April 10 to 11, 1944. Seven tourist signs, located in the city to constitute the Trails of Memory, retrace acts of war or resistance during the Second World War which took place in the territory.
