Worth a visit

The town hall building is worth a quick look.
Between (1) and (2): view of the mill's spillway.
At (2), you can make a short detour to the left to the Suippe bridge to see the mill.
Between (7) and (S/E): the Church of Sainte-Marie-Madeleine, inaugurated in 1926 after the previous church was completely destroyed by the Germans in 1918.

Hello and thank you for your comment. The church cannot remain open without supervision due to the risk of vandalism.
However, the contact details of the person who can show you around on request (depending on their availability) are displayed at the entrance.

It is a shame that the town hall does not open the church door (point 7 of the walk). It contains a curiosity. You can admire a Romanesque baptismal font carved from Meuse stone (12th century) with iconographic decoration that is unique in the Marne region (inverted lion heads). Art lovers will enjoy taking beautiful photos here.
