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 train station in Charleville-Mézières is well-maintained and worth a visit. Built in 1858, its original facade has been preserved to this day. The capital, Paris, can be reached in 1 hour and 45 minutes by TGV, or Sedan in 15 minutes. Place Ducall is also close to the city center (a 10-minute walk). The large station forecourt is equally well-maintained and beautiful. Restaurants, hotels, and shops are available.
