A beautiful church and definitely worth a visit.

On the site of an old fountain, a monument erected in 1894 by public subscription honors the memory of Barisiens Pierre and Ernest Michaux, inventors and promoters of the pedal velocipede. This monument also marks the entrance to the Bourg district. A chubby child representing the genius of the bicycle, placed in front of a velocipede, extols the invention of the pedal by the Michaux family in 1861, thus allowing the cycle to evolve from the balance bike to the velocipede.

The church of Saint-Jean, in Bar-le-Duc, is a neo-Byzantine style building with references to the neo-Romanesque style. It was built in two phases, between the 19th and 20th centuries. Since the mid-19th century, the parish of Notre-Dame had an "annex" in the Brasseries district. The idea of transforming it into a church came in 1869. The following year the project was entrusted to the architect Charles Demoget. The result, a neo-Gothic building, was controversial and Demoget was removed from office, making way for Ernest Birglin who designed a new building in neo-Byzantine style. But it was only in 1875, after the creation of a fourth parish under the name of Saint-Jean, that construction of the church began. The first phase of the works lasted until 1880, but only the apse, the choir and the transept were erected. In 1933 the architect Royer opened the second phase of work, with the construction of the nave which lasted until 1939. The façade, however, remained partially unfinished.

Visible from afar, the tower points the way to the upper old town. From here you have a good view of the city that now lies at our feet.

Built from 1903 to 1905 by the Varin-Bernier banking family, the castle, whose exterior architecture and interior decoration mix all styles, represents an example of the historicism and eclecticism in vogue at that time. The building is surrounded by an English-style park.
