Bazeilles

Chief town of the new town, Bazeilles seduced by the richness of its heritage. It is difficult to resist the Saint-Martin church, rebuilt in the 19th century following the horrors of the Franco-Prussian war of 1870. Neo-Gothic in style, it offers beautiful stained glass windows of Art Nouveau inspiration. To learn a little more about the history of Bazeilles, head to the House of the last cartridge, a museum located on the site of the eponymous battle. In particular, we discover a museum of French Marine Troops. The town also offers the French and Prussian monument-ossuary in the town cemetery.

Listed as an historic monument and built in the middle of the 18th century, the Orival castle still unveils an orangery, a dovecote, a park or even a fabulous wrought iron gate. Other castles also take place on the territory of the city, like those of Montvilliers which serves as a training ground for the Sedan football club, and Turenne. The latter only presents vestiges, with in particular a portal classified as Historical Monuments.

The Château de Lamécourt, listed as a Historic Monument, is the main tourist attraction in Rubécourt-et-Lamécourt. Former fortified castle surrounded by bodies of water and a park, it still has two square towers and a building transformed in the neo-Gothic style. Attested since the 16th century, in its time it hosted a temple for the Reformed religion. Do not miss to admire the Saint-Rémi church or the old spinning mill, witness of the old industry of the town.

In Villers-Cernay, the Saint-Pierre church is not without interest.
