TOWN PRESENTATION

SIGHTSEEING

Portal of the Church of St. Maurille: Following a boom in the early 16th century was born the project of building a nice big church Vouziers. The beautiful Renaissance portal by the architect Champagne Jehan Laurens is the testimony. The religious wars of the second half of the 16th and 17th put an end to this project and two centuries later the gate was awkwardly connected to the existing Gothic church. Open to the public all year round.

Tomb of Roland Garros: Driver became famous before the war broke records for. In air combat than October 5, 1918, Roland Garros was killed over Saint-Morel. He was buried in the military section of the French Civil Cemetery Vouziers.
