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...

The castle ruins are quite large. Only the advanced structures of the important 13th-century castle remain today. The keep itself was destroyed in the 15th century.

Initiated in the Romanesque period, from which it has preserved its porch and capitals, the church of Sainte-Aulde bears witness to the various styles that have succeeded one another in the rural world, having been reworked in the Gothic period and then in the classical period. The stained glass windows from the end of the 19th century were made in particular by Gustave Bourgeois, a worker on the stained glass window of Saint Colomban in Ussy. St Fiacre, patron saint of gardeners/market gardeners, of whom there is a 15th century statue in the church, is honored there every first Sunday in September.
