A beautiful place to visit. Well kept grounds and serene atmosphere at the American WW1 war grave cemetery. The information office has a lot of the history which was worth reading before going across the road to the graves. 6000 US servicemen are buried here having died in action in July to September 1918. 591 are in unmarked graves. “Lest we forget”

After reading all those wonderful comments about this champagne house, we decided to book a visit. And I'm so glad we did! To be honest, I don't know a lot about champagne but I couldn't leave without visiting a champagne house. This was such an amazing experience. Romain talked so passionately about how the champagne was made and explained everything so well. He's very friendly, can answer every question you have and is fluent in English. The champagne we tried after the tour was delicious, my family was also very happy when I returned home with this delicious champagne :D. There are a lot of champagne houses but if you visit this area, I highly recommend visiting Alain Mercier.

Brilliant courses, loads to do for children 7+ and some courses for the little ones too (although I wouldn't bring younger ones unless you are also taking older children who will get more out of it). My 7 year old enjoyed the Pirate and Viking courses to start off, and then went on to Green and eventually Yellow. The area is well kept and there were a lot more courses for age 10+ and more again for teens and adults looking for a challenge. The hut at the entrance sold drinks and snacks and there was a toilet although to be honest a 'wild wee' would probably be nicer but other than that we had a brilliant time. I've included some shots of the younger courses

Worth a visit and a bit of research on the history of the building, lovely decorative carvings of cattle.

I walked around the ruins briefly whilst in Soissons on business. It was 9am on a chilly January morning, and I was the only tourist on the site but the informative plaques were helpful. I would return in season in order to visit the full site.

Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 206 reviews
The Château and fortifications formed one of the largest defensive structures ever constructed in France. Spreading over 14 hectares, Coucy originally included 33 towers and ramparts stretching over two kilometres. The four main corner towers were similar in size to the central keep of the royal palace of the Louvre while the keep at Coucy was the largest castle tower in Christendom. The ruins remain an impressive and evocative reminder of Coucy’s grandeur despite being badly damaged in the First World War.

Very interesting experience of utopia. Well organized. I could allow only 2 hours. If you get into it, it is worth more. Cafeteria looks rather basic, but anyway everybody shows warm welcome.

While the monument is impressive, the visitor center/museum is the treasure on this stop. It provides excellent descriptions of what happened in this area during the Great War. Plan at least an hour in the visitors center.
