Here the l'Aisne surrounds the entire old town. It flows around it like a ring.

Sainte-Menehould

Highlight • Settlement

The origins of Sainte-Menehould are uncertain. The Butte de Gaize which is the oldest part of the city is probably a place of worship. Later a castle appears. The village is on the edge of the Aisne river which completely surrounds the small town.

The old building, which now houses a cinema and a brasserie, used to be the city's festival hall. On old postcards (web search: ancienne salle des fetes) you can see the original condition.

The town hall and museum were rebuilt after the fire of 1719 in the typical 18th century style by Philippe de La Force. The museum has a fine collection of artworks from the 17th and 18th centuries. Worth seeing!

Courson Shelter

Highlight • Historical Site

This concrete bunker was built in 1915 to protect the strategic crossroads Croix de Pierre. It is named after Lieutenant Robert de Courson de la Villeneuve, who was killed in the Argonne in 1914. The shelter is a silent witness to the fierce fighting in this wooded front area during WWI. The bunker is located near the road and is freely accessible.
