Carrières de Confrécourt

Highlight • Cave

If you want to discover the history and art of the First World War, you can visit the Carrières de Confrécourt, a set of underground quarries that served as a refuge for French soldiers. There you can admire the sculptures and frescoes they carved on the walls, expressing their hopes, fears and memories. You will also be able to see the ruins of the monastic farm of Confrécourt, dating from the 12th century, where violent battles took place. The quarries are open for guided tours on the first Sunday of each month, from April to September, and you must book in advance.

Broken Cross Monument

Highlight • Other

This monument, built in 1929 by the Marquis de Croix, owner of the land, symbolizes the suffering of all the soldiers who fought during the First World War on the Confrécourt plateau. The monument is in the shape of a broken cross, which evokes the numerous postcards showing crucifixes or Christs having miraculously survived the bombings of the war. The monument is located near a stone marker which indicates the furthest advance of German troops during their offensives in 1918. You can also see the new Confrécourt farm, which was rebuilt after the war on the site even where the French front lines were located.

Monument to the Executed of Vingré

Highlight • Monument

If you are interested in history and nature, you might like to hike to the Monument des Fusillés in Nouvron-Vingré, France. This monument honors six French soldiers who were executed by their own army in 1914 for allegedly retreating during World War I, but who were later exonerated and honored as the "martyrs of Vingré." The monument is located at the edge of a field, near the road which leads to the village of Vingré. You can admire the views of the countryside and the nearby forest, as well as the obelisk and plaques that tell the story of these brave men.

Vic-sur-Aisne Castle

Highlight • Castle

In the heart of the village of Vic-sur-Aisne, surrounded by a leafy park and overlooking the Aisne valley, lies the imposing Château de Vic-sur-Aisne. What today appears to be an elegant country house, bears in its walls the traces of a turbulent past. Originally built on the foundations of a medieval castrum, the estate grew in the 17th century into a stately castle, with symmetrical facades, round towers and an impressive thirteen-metre high keep — a remnant from the 13th century. The architecture reflects the transition from defensive structure to residential comfort: robust, but refined. The gardens, partly in French style with straight lines and box hedges, partly in English landscape style with winding paths and romantic corners, invite you to stroll and contemplate.
