Septmont Keep

Highlight • Castle

The Donjon de Septmonts is a medieval tower in the French village of Septmonts, located near Soissons, in the Hauts-de-France region. The tower was built in the 14th century and was originally part of a castle that served as a residence for the bishops of Soissons. The tower is 47 meters high and has seven floors. It is a striking example of the princely style of the late 14th century, combining both military and residential functions. The tower is currently undergoing a restoration programme.

Soissons Town Hall

Highlight • Historical Site

Housed in the former Hôtel de l’Intendance (1775), built on the site of the medieval castle of the Counts of Soissons. The neoclassical building became the town hall in 1834 after the destruction of the previous one. The building has an impressive façade with turrets and statues of historical figures. Inside, original salons, boiseries and a monumental staircase have been preserved – a tangible reminder of the administrative role of Soissons under the Ancien Régime.

View From the Passerelle des Anglais

Highlight • Viewpoint

Pedestrian and cyclist bridge over the Aisne River.
The name, "Passerelle des Anglais," refers to the important role the British played in the liberation of Soissons in 1918 and in the reconstruction of the city after the First World War, including the reconstruction of the original bridge, which was destroyed by the German army.

Coat of arms of Bucy-le-Longue

Highlight • Monument

The coat of arms of Bucy-le-Long is a historical coat of arms with elegant symbolism: “D’azur à la bande d’or accompagnée de trois fleurons d’or, deux rangés en chief, un en pointe.” That is to say: a blue shield with a diagonal gold band, accompanied by three gold floral motifs—two at the top and one at the bottom2. This coat of arms is derived from that of Thierry II, Knight of Bucy in the 13th century, whose grandson Simon Matifas became Bishop of Paris and enriched the family coat of arms with these fleurons as a symbol of his ecclesiastical dignity. A fine piece of heraldry that reflects the medieval roots of the village.

Sainte-Maigeritte, Bucy-Le-Long

Highlight • Other

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.
