Church and street in Ferte Millon. Note the name of the street (you can click the picture to enlarge). Perhaps not the most desirable place to live.

Ferte Millon: The castle would have been the largest in France of its time (XVth century), but it was never completed and was later dismantled. Also in the city is a pretty bridge designed by Gustave Eiffel before he became famous for that lovely tower in Paris.



Septmonts: Sunday flea market / Brocante at the base of the remains of the castle Septmonts, of which the principal remains are of the 14th century keep. The castle was the country seat of the Bishop of Soissons and was first built in stone a little before 1242. It is thought to have been inspired by the works of Charles V of France, combining both military and residential functions.
