50 yards to the left of G.C. 66 (coming from Autry) and 150 yards this side of Binarville.
Autry, like all the surrounding villages, has had a chequered history.
It was besieged and taken by the English in 1359. At the beginning of the 17th century it was practically a deserted ruin.
Under the Fronde it suffered again. The Lord of Autry was one of the four knights who bore the canopy of the Sacred Ampulla during the consecration of the kings at Rheims.
The road winds round the rock on which stands the ruined church. St. Lambert’s Chapel in the cemetery contains some interesting frescoes.
The château, which is below the church, dates from 1635.
