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. Of the important 13th-century castle, only the advanced structures remain today. The keep itself had already been destroyed in the 15th century.

Discover the oldest cheese dairy in Brie! The Ganot cheese dairy, originally the oldest cheese refiner in Seine-et-Marne, also opens its doors to visitors. You will discover the secrets of bries during a guided tour that is as informative as it is delicious. More than 125 years of know-how! Founded in 1895 by Mr. Alis, the cheese dairy began its activity by selling cheeses on the region's markets. At that time, they sold "fresh salt" brie for a maximum of 2 days or "black brie" for a minimum of 6 months, matured in the cheese dairy's attics. In 1948, cellars equipped with cold storage were dug to mature farmhouse bries from neighboring farms. The Ganot cheese dairy continues the same activity. It collects cheeses from the Brie region. In its cellars, it refines organic farmhouse brie (from its association with the Ste-Colombe farm), Coulommiers, Brie de Meaux AOP and Brie de Melun AOP. Each cheese is given special attention depending on its nature and origin. Prices: Visit + wine tasting: €7.50/adult Visit + milk tasting: €5.00/child (6 to 11 years old) Family***: €20/group ***family composed of 2 adults and 2 children Opening: Wednesday: 3:00 p.m. – 6:30 p.m. Thursday and Friday: 3:00 p.m. – 7:00 p.m. Saturday: 10:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. then 2:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.
