Dormans On the banks of the Marne lies a tranquil little village called Dormans. During the Wars of Religion between the League and Henri III, the duke of Guise was injured in Dormans, which gave him his subsequent nickname of "Balafré". He was later assassinated and became, as the famous saying goes "bigger dead than he was when alive" (his assassination drew many people to his cause). Visit the church in July and August. The square tower and its interior courtyard are remarkable, and well worth a visit. The town also features a Louis XIII castle and a park dedicated to the memory of two Marne Battles which took place here during the First World War. Visit this memorial in June, July and August. |
