Tips from the Community
This chapel, located far from the village of Givry, was consecrated in 1960. The original Gothic church was destroyed in World War I and rebuilt in 1938 according to plans by architects Malard and Broux. However, it was destroyed again in World War II in 1940 and rebuilt from 1959 onwards according to the latest plans. The actual church is surrounded by an L-shaped gallery, and in front of it is a rest area located above the field path, offering a beautiful panoramic view. Unfortunately, there is no shade here.

The beautiful and strikingly modern town hall of the Mezières district. The adjacent forecourt was traffic-calmed a few years ago. There's also a drinking water fountain in the southwest corner of the square.

The Hôtel de Ville de Mézières, was rebuilt after the bombings of November 1918 and construction was completed in 1930. The facade of the building contains elements of medieval, Renaissance and Baroque architecture. The interior of the Town Hall reveals a neo-Baroque decoration. In 1966, the municipality of Charleville-Mézières was created by the merger of several municipalities, making the Hôtel de Ville de Mézières the town hall of Charleville-Mézières. The town hall is located on Place de l'Hôtel de Ville, which was completely renovated and modernized between 2018 and 2020.
