Things to see and do Champagne-Ardenne

Created in 1890, the foundry was taken up by Léon Rollinger in 1945. After several changes of direction, she was picked up by the staff in February 2012, to become a Scop, the Fonderie Nouvelle Rollinger, retaining the name of his very former transferee. The foundry today manufactures hardware, industry parts, art and decorative parts (Artfea Range), including personalized medals.

A Bogny-sur-Meuse, the vallon of the "Grosse Boutique" is a unique place to rediscover the metallurgical past of the Ardennes, that of the bolts.
It was founded by two brothers, modest cloutiers, Jean-Rémi Maré (1813-1856) and Alexandre Joseph (1813-1887). Alexandre Maré (1845-1914), the boss of the second generation, developed the case considerably. On the eve of 1914, the «Grosse Boutique» is the largest in the Ardennes and even in France with more than a thousand employees. In two periods (1854-1858 and 1865-1877), she then almost acquired her final physionomie. It was even connected by a private railway, 2 km long and a tunnel passing under the Hermitage to the Charleville-Givet line.
The course takes us to the scene of the employers'castle, to the three paternalistic creations of the general stores, Alexandre Joseph crèche, or the still present of the Scale, a city comparable to that of the North where the workers were housed.

It is a place that is often ignored and even more function. The Mussy-sur-Seine cooler consists of a spectacular stone cylinder of 10 m deep and about 7 m in diameter. From the outside, difficult to get a clear idea of the thing. This cooler was in some way the fridge of Langres bishops when they stayed in Mussy during the summer. It is in an excellent state of conservation, rare in France, and is visible upon request at the tourist office.
