Mont Cornu l'Ardenne remonte le temps

Montcornet, a charming village in the Ardennes Valleys and Plateau, invites you on a true journey through time. The site will open its doors on Saturday, March 30th.

In April, May and June, it will be open on Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays, from 14pm to 18pm. In July and August, it will be closed on Mondays and open from Tuesday to Sunday, from 14pm to 18pm.

The old fishponds of the castle, the Jeanne de Montcornet chapel (1303), the ruins of an old mill and the old bridge used by the villagers for Sunday service make it a place full of history.

At the foot of the site, the association "Montcornet Remonte le Temps" has been working for several years, alongside an archaeologist, on the reconstruction of five villages representing different periods.

Visitors are invited to discover, in a lively and interactive way, the daily lives of the populations who occupied northeastern France, from the Gallic period to the end of the Middle Ages. 

Craftsmen and local historical reenactment groups bring the site to life, passing on the skills of yesteryear and reviving the customs and lifestyles of the past.

Villages to discover:

The Gallic Village (250-150 BC); Second Iron Age (LA TENE)
The Gallo-Roman Village (100-200 AD); Gallo-Roman Antiquity (HIGH EMPIRE)
 The Merovingian Village (500-700 AD); Middle Ages (Early Middle Ages)
