Unfortunately, we have to disagree with Willem VS here: both the church and the keep are closed to the public. But the pigeons have certainly turned it into a giant playground.

For the Jardins en Scène festival, held in September 2019 in Hauts-de-France, the city of Soissons invited Lyon-based artist Kalouf. The graffiti artist created a piece on one of the walls of the former brewery near Parc St. Crépin. A work that will remain "as long as it lives."

This large German war cemetery is located near Fort de La Malmaison, along the Chemin des Dames. It was established in 1941 by the Wehrmacht to centralize scattered graves from the Aisne region. After the war, the site was officially recognized by a Franco-German convention in 1954 and solemnly inaugurated in 1965. Nearly 11,850 German soldiers rest here, primarily fallen during the 1940 campaign and the fighting after the Allied landings in Normandy in 1944. Between 1960 and 1961, over 6,800 bodies were reburied from six surrounding departments. The cemetery is sober and serene, with rows of dark crosses and a memorial stone. It serves as a silent reminder of the fierce fighting in this region and is an important stop on remembrance routes along the Chemin des Dames.
