The best museums Aisne

Visit the locations of Dany Boon's film, Nothing to Declare. Relive the border crossing between Macquenoise (Belgium) and Hirson-Forêt (France). The atmosphere of the film is tremendously well recreated, thanks in particular to André Meunier, a true local figure! You will learn more about the territory, about various products such as Chimay beer or maroilles and about filming. Eight years after the film's release, the places, which have been transformed into a small museum, still attract many visitors, so that in 2017 the team created an escape game called "The Office". Locked in the customs offices, your team has 60 minutes to find the keys to the famous 4L of the film in order to escape the customs chief. The success has been such that, since then, two other escape games have emerged: "Le Garage" and "L'Enquête". A frank part of laughter in perspective.

This is one of the most exciting museums. An essential stop that will captivate young and old alike. Unique site in France, the museum is interested in a period that extends from the ^5th to the 8th century. The atmosphere of the place is particular and the visitor quickly immerses himself in this little-known period. The Museum of Barbarian Times shows archaeological treasures discovered more than 25 years ago in the territory of Goudélancourt-les-Pierrepont. A necropolis of 400 tombs and several isolated dwellings had been discovered there. Today, reconstructions are available and we appreciate the many explanatory panels that guide visitors to the heart of history. Enjoy the immense park that hosts the village of Les Francs, where regularly, great events take place, such as the Viking week or the Roman and Barbarian weekend. Fighting will be presented to you: great show guaranteed!

The Academic Society, which is essential for historical research as well as the preservation of the local heritage, has housed in its premises a little known museum, which presents an important collection of more than 300 silex, Pointes and Levalllois points, but also microlithes and pointes pointes, or even polished stone axes of the Neolithic.

Set in the old mill of the village, this museum presents the result of excavations carried out in the territory of the commune, the Gallo-Roman site. There are also collections of fossils and an exhibition of objects from the excavations of a Gallo-Roman necropolis. Religious art is represented here with his sacerdotal clothes accompanied by objects of worship and piety, and presentation of uniforms of soldiers, officers and civilians from 1870 to the present. The Musée des métiers d'antan re the workshop of the carpenter, the blacksmith, the marshal-farrier. A not miss: a real Ali Baba cave of the 1950 s.

The birthplace of Jean Antoine Nicolas Caritat marquis de Condorcet (1743-1794) was built at the end of the th century by the family of Gaudry, the maternal branch of Condorcet. It remains private property until 1989, the date of its acquisition by the commune of Ribemont. Opened in 1994 to 1998, and fully restored from 1998 to 1999, it has been reopened to the public since June 2000. This museum is composed of seven rooms, the life of Condorcet and other famous native Hommes. The visitor will also find a history of the municipality.
