At the museum of art and archaeology, regional archaeology takes centre stage. At the Musée de Picardie you will be able to admire paintings from El Greco to Picasso. The Museum of Barbarian Times will have you relive the time of the Merovingians. Unfortunately, the Second World War left behind its mark on the region. A museum at the Castle of Péronne provides visitors with information about this period. The home in which Jean de la Fontaine was born can be visited in Château-Thierry.
