Tips from the Community
Located in the Aisne region, Septmonts Castle was originally the country residence of the bishops of Soissons. Built between the 12th and 16th centuries, it retains several original features, such as the so-called Saint-Louis Room. Visitors can discover a 14th-century keep and square tower, as well as a 16th-century Renaissance pavilion. Bombed during the First World War, Septmonts Castle is now classified as a historical monument for its chapel and keep, and an inscription for the rest of the buildings. The impressive keep is over forty meters high and consists of seven stories of complex architecture. Septmonts Castle itself is adorned with a park featuring an arboretum and an orchard. The entire complex is open to the public, and the Renaissance residence also hosts temporary exhibitions. Every June, the site hosts the Pic'Arts rock festival concerts.

Small 20th century village church, built on the site of an older, possibly medieval church. Situated next to the town hall and cemetery, it forms the religious heart of the village. The church is dedicated to Saint Medard, a popular patron saint in Northern France. The village was destroyed after WWI, but the church was only slightly damaged.

The Chapelle Sainte-Marguerite in Bucy-le-Long is a charming 12th-century Romanesque building surrounded by an ancient cemetery that gives it an almost timeless feel. Although badly damaged during the First World War, it was lovingly restored and was listed as a monument in 19202. Inside, you’ll find a mix of period features and modern additions, including colorful stained glass windows depicting the life of Saint Margaret. Local legend has it that even Joan of Arc once stopped here—a place where history and legend collide.

The park is open and invites you to rest and have a picnic. The old walls all around provide the necessary medieval ambience. Is otherwise very quiet here, pleasant area a little further out.

These 19th-century forts had already lost their invincibility in the second half of the century and were more of a "belt of remnants" that no longer played a major strategic role. It was only when the Chemin des Dames became a deadlock as a front area that they became relevant again for a short time. Here you can feel this survived history well, the cellar-like bunkering on the mountain. Almost a small green overgrown labyrinth today....
