Description

Head for the outskirts of Beaurieux, a charming hilltop village just off the Chemin des Dames!
This excursion will take you to its heights for a walk in the fresh air, filled with vast open spaces and superb panoramas.

As far as history is concerned, this commune - and the Aisne valley in general - is a key site for European archaeology, revealing Neolithic, Protohistoric and Gallo-Roman remains thanks to intensive excavations since the 1970s (a Protohistoric Iron Age enclosure and a Gallo-Roman villa have been unearthed here).
And just for the record, even though the commune was spared more than others in the area by the fighting of the 14-18 war, it was nonetheless helped by Winnipeg in its reconstruction. Indeed, the Canadian capital of the province of Manitoba wanted this to serve as a reminder of its links with the Marquette family (Claude, brother of Jacques Marquette, discoverer of the Mississippi in the 17th century, was Lord of Beaurieux...).

So enjoy your visit to this place steeped in history!

This Gothic church is famous for its stone spire (the only one of its kind in the Laonnois region) and for housing the relics of Eutrapie, sister of Nicaise (bishop of Reims in the 5th century AD), both of whom were massacred during the barbarian invasions of the time...
