Vitry-le-François Town Hall

Highlight • Historical Site

The town hall is located on the site of a 17th-century Recollects monastery, founded by the Bishop of Châlons-en-Champagne. After being largely destroyed during the Second World War, it was rebuilt according to 19th-century plans. The beautiful garden features the facade of the former chapel of the Collège des garçons, which burned down in 1940, and the Adam and Eve group by sculptor Alphonse Terroir, a gift from the City of Paris.

Village musée du Der

Highlight • Other

An engaging exhibition about the three former villages, with the project seeming relevant today, as people lost their homes in the past.
It was very enlightening to learn more about the crafts and the people in the region.
Exceptional exhibition!!!
