Braux Castle

Highlight • Other

Various families succeeded one another as owners of the castle until its acquisition by the Institut de France in 2007. The castle had then already been empty for several years.
The Institute then left the castle empty until it was finally purchased in a very dilapidated state by its current owners in 2014.
The castle and gardens can now be visited - for a fee (temporarily closed in 2023).

Valmy Mill

Highlight • Other

The famous Valmy mill, which symbolizes the French victory over the Prussians at the Battle of Valmy in 1792, was destroyed on the evening of the battle itself by order of Kellermann, because it offered an ideal target for the enemy. A second mill was built and then demolished in 1831.

In anticipation of the 150th anniversary of the battle of Valmy, the mayor of the village, André Procureur, decides to reinstall a mill in Valmy thanks to a national subscription. The mill then comes from Attiches. The work, which began in 1939, was interrupted by the war and a temporary roof was installed. Work resumed after the war and the mill was inaugurated on September 20, 1947.

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.
