Tips from the Community
This house of God in Bonneil has chosen the Nativity of the Mother of God Mary as its patron saint. In the biblical writings of the New Testament, her birth is not specifically mentioned, nor are her parents, but already in early apocryphal (i.e., not included in the canon of the official Bible) writings, Saint Anne and her husband Saint Joachim were named as parents. The Church of Saint Anne – located by the Bethesda pool in Jerusalem – is considered the place of the Mother of God's parental home. The Catholic Church celebrates the memorial day „Nativity of Mary“ on September 8, as do Orthodox and Anglican Christians.

Jean de La Fontaine was a French writer. He is considered one of the greatest classics in French literature, and some of his fables are still familiar to every French schoolchild today. He was born on July 8, 1621, in Château-Thierry. Here on the banks of the Marne River stands this sculpture, depicting some of the characters and animals from his fables.

Not the most beautiful monument in Château-Thierry, but perhaps the most original...

The castle ruins are quite large. Of the important 13th-century castle, only the advanced structures remain today. The keep itself had already been destroyed in the 15th century.
