The covered market replaces the one that disappeared in the fire of 1282 at the end of the 15th century. It was modified in the 17th century to stabilize it. A span was removed to build a hard limestone gable. The weekly market is always there. As well as the traditional fat poultry fair (it has existed for more than 90 years) which takes place on the second Saturday of December each year.

Saint-Martin Church is located in the heart of the village of Egreville. It is built on the foundations and some walls of an earlier chapel that disappeared in a large fire in the 13th century. It was damaged during the hundred-year war and rebuilt in the 15th century. The belfry that served as a watchtower is attached to the church in the sixteenth century and becomes its main entrance. The arrow is added in the seventeenth.

By the 40th day after mobilisation the German High Command expected to have brought the French and British armies to a decisive battle and destroyed them. This conclusion to Schlieffen’s famous Plan relied on the Russians taking at least this length of time to mobilise via their poor railway system. The BEF played a small but significant part in the battle of the Marne even though Field Marshall French had seriously contemplated removing his men from the action to reform and rest. However, this major battle was largely won through the determination and courage of the French soldiers and their leaders. The French snatched a conclusive victory from what looked like an imminent defeat. The German High Command failed in its attempt to capture Paris and force the French government to capitulate. The ‘race to the sea’ now followed, in which the Allies and Central Powers atempted to outflank each other. The line of trenches was then settled from the North Sea to Switzerland. The Allies and the Central Powers now knew that the war would continue far longer than they had thought. The next few years would be spent in learning how to fight a new kind of war with new weapons in the air and on the ground. The price of this process would be paid in blood.

Lac du Der is a natural area of national and international importance, where more than 310 species of birds can be observed throughout the year, depending on the migration season.

It is the largest of the observatories on Lac du Der, offering early-morning viewing of Sandhill Cranes during the migration period (October to March). Birdwatching guides are available to help you discover this incredible wildlife.

At the Village Musée du Der, you can discover the incredible story of the three villages that disappeared to make way for the construction of Lac du Der (the largest artificial lake in Europe). Several typical buildings were saved from destruction or drowning and rebuilt on the museum site: the church in Nuisement-aux-Bois, the Blacksmith's House, the dovecote, etc.

Among Grand's most emblematic monuments, the basilica and the mosaic it houses are in an exceptional state of preservation.

The exhibition space invites visitors to discover this rich heritage, through a collection of sculptures, witnesses to daily life, and also rare ivory, bone and wood objects discovered in the village's many wells.

The area between the rampart and the amphitheatre was occupied in Antiquity by a vast public building, which could have been a thermal complex if we consider the remains discovered in the 19th century under the neighbouring orchards. Excavations carried out between 2010 and 2016 uncovered a gallery leading to these buildings. This gallery, 6 m wide and over 40 m long, was distinguished by the richness of its decoration, given the large number of marble fragments and painted plaster found. The square in front of the portico was crossed by an underground pipe that probably connected the spring beneath the church with the thermal baths it fed. A selection of the objects unearthed during these excavations is on display in the Mosaic Museum.

The chapel is located where Saint Libaire is said to be buried. Surrounded by the former Roman road leading to Soulosse , the place was occupied by an large public edifice which preceded a necropolis in the Early Middle Ages. The present chapel has been founded in the first part of the 15th century in two archeological campaigns : the first one for the five-sided apse and the second one for the unique three-aisle nave. There are still rests of murals remaining, particularly in the choir.

Known since the 18th century, the Grand amphitheatre has been the subject of an ambitious research program since the 1960s, revealing its colossal architecture and dimensions. With a total length of 148 m, the amphitheater was built around an arena where gladiators, wild animals and hunters fought, and which must have been around 25 m high. Over 17,000 spectators could be seated on the bleachers.

Gallo-Roman villas, a sanctuary where water and sun cults were celebrated, and many other treasures from the Gallo-Roman era were hidden beneath the Liffolois subsoil... Excavations have brought them to light, along with a smoking room unique in the Roman world and a Flavian mosaic. These objects are displayed and showcased on two levels in this museum, which was once the site of the forester's house. The collections range from prehistory to the Gallo-Roman and medieval periods...

Near the church of Liffol-le-Grand, this war memorial was inaugurated on the 17th of April 1921. Commemorating the two major global conflicts of the 20th century, its erection was decided by the town in October 1919; in the press release published on the 25th of October, we can read in French that “this memorial will be very sober, but of a refined and delicate taste, and will be 4m70 (15 feet) high. The base will be made entirely of Brittany granite. The inscriptions will be engraved in granite and with gold leafs. The statue that topped the base will be in white marble of Carrara.” Built by the Les marbreries générales de Paris (Gourdon Dir.), given by “Liffol-le-Grand to its heroic children who died for France”, this monument made of Vosges granite and marble is topped by a statue symbolising France crowning its heroes. We can see engraved on this war memorial 77 names of men who perished during World War I and 13 men during World War II.
