Chateau-Thierry Château-Thierry is an industrial town 55 miles east of Paris on the River Marne. The surrounding countryside was the site of many great battles during both World Wars, and a number of monuments and cemeteries mark the bravery of thousands of Allied soldiers who fought to liberate France and who now lie interred under her soil. The town is also known as the home of the famous poet and fable writer Jean de la Fontaine (1621-95); the Musée Jean-de-la-Fontaine is one of the most popular literary museums in the world and contains a collection of his personal effects, memorabilia and a number of editions of his works. |
