There are so many steel bridges, and this one has a great design! I simply added the other arched bridges, including the turquoise one, from the track.

A great offer and, above all, great sandwiches that help you survive a food desert. The croissants are great, as is the pain aux raisins!

We had our croissants (from the bakery in Charmes) and several coffees here. The coffee was great! Friendly service and a nice place to sit, even when it rained.

Following the First World War, the town of Fargniers was 95% devastated. As early as 1918, the City proposed a reconstruction project, in the form of a radio-concentric square around which the municipal buildings would be arranged. In 1922, the Trustees of the Carnegie Endowment (an institution founded in 1910 by the American industrialist Andrew Carnegie and which decided to devote $500,000 to the reconstruction of the devastated regions of France, Belgium and Serbia) decided to allocate $150,000 to the reconstruction of the municipal buildings of Fargniers. A plan of the square was drawn up by the architects Henri-Paul Nénot and Paul Bigot (first Grand Prix de Rome and architect of the Institut des Arts in Paris); Around the square are grouped: the town hall, a post office, a police station, a pump, a market hall, an assembly hall, the Carnegie foyer, a bathhouse, schools, green spaces and playgrounds. This ensemble includes regionalist references as well as an Anglo-Saxon influence. The first stone was laid in 1922, the ensemble was completed in 1928. Listed in the inventory of historical monuments in 1998.
