Gîtes in Château-Thierry

Discover Château-Thierry and the surrounding area on your holiday

Château-Thierry, capital of the Champagne region of Aisne, is nestled in a loop of the Marne at the foot of a hill. Château-Thierry not only boasts a château in the historic centre, but also an impressive American memorial which dominates the town and the surrounding area. Jean de la Fontaine was born and grew up in Château-Thierry, and his fables, which still speak to us today, made him a key figure in French history. You can visit the museum dedicated to him in the house where he was born. The First World War left an indelible mark on this region, which was hard hit by the fighting. Today, many memorials have been built to keep the memory alive. Two of the most impressive memorials in France are in the Château-Thierry area. The Côte 204 Memorial in Château-Thierry is impressive for its size and geographical position, overlooking the Marne Valley and offering spectacular views over the town. The American Memorial at Bois Belleau is just a few kilometres away, on the very spot where the battle took place. Thanks to the account of a journalist who was there, Belleau Wood is considered by the United States to be one of the founding points in the history and reputation of the Marines. The Aisne champenoise, also known as the "Gates of Champagne", is made up in part of communes whose territory is recognised in the Champagne AOC, such as Essômes-sur-Marne, Charly-sur-Marne, Crézancy, Trélou-sur-Marne and many others.
