Château-Thierry, at a crossroads between history, future and nature

One hour away from Paris, 45 minutes from Disneyland Resort Paris, 30 minutes from Reims, Château-Thierry combines the assets of a major city, with its various services and tourist attractions, and the charm of the countryside. Located on the Paris-Strasbourg railway line, served by the A4 highway, the city is in many ways a crossroads.

The most famous fables writer, Jean de la Fontaine, whose fame shines forth in the whole world, was born there in 1621. Today, after going through the 20th century wars, known both terrible and deciding battles, it has grown richer with monuments joining an extensive historical inheritance. Medieval castle, monument honoring American soldiers, former hospital holding the Hôtel-Dieu’s treasure, 15th century church, and protestant church: Château-Thierry is a many-sided city. On its hillsides grows the grape which will become a Champagne with enchanting flavors. The vineyards offer changing colors, depending on the season, but their beauty is constant. Visiting the Champagne cellars dating from the Middle Ages enables to understand more clearly how this precious nectar is made, in a mythical setting.

Coming to Château-Thierry is the guarantee to have a pleasant stay, follow in the footsteps of key figures of our History, enjoy the proximity of major cities and appreciate the peace and quiet of a welcoming town.
