VIEW OF CHÂTEAU-THIERRY SEEN FROM THE TERRACE OF THE CASTLE.
To visit the Castle, go up the wide steps on the left of the Hôtel-de-Ville, which lead to the Ramparts. The panoramic view above was taken from these stairs.
In the foreground are seen: the Hôtel-de-Ville with its damaged turret, the Hôtel-de-Ville Square (where the market is held), the Belfry, and the Rue du Maréchal Pétain.
At the top of the steps, turn to the right and follow the ramparts as far as the entrance to the Park (photo below). Enter the latter, which occupies the entire site of the old castle, and go round it, to get a general view of the town and outskirts. To visit the subterranean passages, apply to the keeper at the small lodge in the middle of the park.
