Things to see and do Marle

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 Mill of the plain was originally a flour mill. It consisted of two wheels, one on each side of the river until 1838, when an application for authorization was filed to transform it into one wheel. On the death of the owner, in 1914, the activity was managed by his widow, who could not prevent the bankrupt from entering the 1920 s. Acquired a few years later by a company (the large mills in Marle), it became the largest mill in the Aisne, with production of more than 400 000 quintals per year.

You are here on the central square of the municipality. It was here, once, that the Lord of Marle or his squire made justice. It is also here that, according to tradition, Thomas de Marle made des on an acute spear. It is also on this place that public meetings have always been held: reading decrees, decrees or elections. The castle's fortified door was located on La Motte square.
