Château-Thierry
Château-Thierry is an industrial town 55 miles (89km) 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.
