The statue of John of Arc stands here in the main square. The area around it is also beautifully designed and a lovely place to relax.

Fontenoy-le-Château actually has many interesting old buildings, which unfortunately are mostly in a state of disrepair. The old church, however, is in a well-renovated condition.

The imposing building is located on a huge fenced-in property right next to the canal. Is it really a "chateau"? I couldn't find anything about it.

At the beginning of September 2024, there was little to be seen of a lake. Water had been drained and there was mud and old logs everywhere.
