Culture
The Château Mermoz is a bourgeois residence rebuilt in the 18th century in the heart of Rocquigny.
Jean Mermoz bought the property in Rocquigny in 1934 so that his mother could live there.
The château has been abandoned for many years.
The Église Saint-Christophe de Rocquigny is the only fortified church in the Ardennes Thiérache built entirely of brick.
The older part of the Église Saint-Christophe, including the keep, was fortified in the second half of the 16th century or in the 17th century.
The Église Saint-Christophe is closed; no key is indicated.
Jean Mermoz
The Racines de Jean Mermoz association is dedicated to keeping the memory of Jean Mermoz alive in the Ardennes.
It has a collection of around twenty panels about the life of the aviator Jean Mermoz.
At events in the Ardennes department or neighboring departments, it can exhibit this collection of panels if the organization is notified several months in advance.
