Colomban of Luxeuil, also known as Saint Colomban, was an Irish monk who evangelized the rural populations of Gaul, Germany, Helvetia and Italy in the Middle Ages. In the life of Saint Colomban, written around 640, the monk Jonas of Bobbio indicates that Colomban and his companions were welcomed by the family of Authaire, an aristocrat at the court of Austrasia. The domus where this servant of Théodebert (or Thibert), king of Austrasia and friend of Colomban, resided, is said to be located in the commune of Ussy-sur-Marne. In the church, a 19th-century stained glass window reminds us of this meeting. The church is listed as a Historic Monument for its nave dating from the 11th and 12th centuries, as well as for the stained glass windows of its chapel of the Virgin dating from the 16th century.

On September 5, 1914, nearly a million French soldiers and their British allies, defeated fighters from the deadly border battles, exhausted by an exhausting retreat, resolutely turned around and resumed the offensive! This would be the first Battle of the Marne, a victory at the cost of 7 days of fierce fighting on a front line of more than 200 kilometers, breaking the German rush, protecting Paris and saving France from invasion. La Ferté-sous-Jouarre was one of the theaters of this fighting. On Sunday, November 4, 1928, the inauguration of the Memorial took place, in the presence of Marshal Foch. This imposing monument bears, engraved in stone, 3,888 names of officers and soldiers who fell during this battle in September 1914. These men belonged to the British Expeditionary Force.

The Butte de Montassis culminates at an altitude of 163m and dominates the surroundings. There is at its top a curious structure which is a geodesic chimney. This is used to measure the distances, dimensions and shapes of the Earth. This place is also a Sensitive Natural Area, so be sure to respect nature and its fauna, you may have a (very) small chance of even a badger (which remains a very discreet and nocturnal animal).
