Promenade Jean de la Fontaine in Château-Thierry

Raven and Fox, La Cigale and La Fourmi, Le Lièvre and Turtle; so many fables evocative of memories of schoolchildren… For three centuries he has gone, but Jean de la Fontaine continues in everyone's minds. The walk is taking place in Château-Thierry, where the poet was born on July 6, 1621. As a back back, these 2 kilometers invite you to discover the highlights of its existence. From his home house to his college, passing through the Roy Tower and the Auberge du Cadran where he met his friends; from the Chancellery, formerly owned by his former wife Marie-Héricart, at his statue on the place that bears her name; the souvenir of fables is there at every corner of the street. Equipped with the Internet downloadable plan at this address: http://www.la-fontaine-ch-thierry.net/parcours.htm, you can walk on the traces of La Fontaine by finding in the numbered places in this plan the plaques that evoke the life of the poet in his city. Explanations on the website complement the texts you will read on the plates during your walk.
