Places of interest
- The railway station
- Church of Saint-Pierre
- The Château de Pont Remy Somme, also known as the Château Clochard (meaning the 'homeless man' or 'tramp' a reference to its abandoned state) or Château Pianiste (for the number of pianos left at the site).[2]
The Château or Castle originally has been the site of numerous historical visitors including Cardinal Richelieu since its rebuilding after being destroyed during the hundred years war.[3]
An association was set up in 2007 to persuade the owners to save this historic monument. On August 13, 2012 the Château was severely damaged by fire, halting a planned community renovation and restoration program.[4] - The British cemetery
gollark: - Signed disks are autorunned upon being inserted- Lua code sent over the potatOS command websocket is executed with privileged access- The autoupdater can autoupdate to anything (*is* this a backdoor?)
gollark: It performs no useful function but is very hard to remove (without *CHEATING* by putting it in another computer's disk drive), contains lovely backdoors, has useless bundled software, and autoupdates, even to broken versions.In short, it's Windows, which seems to be quite popular.
gollark: Squid is just jealous that PotatOS is so much better than Mildly Better Shell.
