Culture

The Restaurant scolaire on Chemin de la Demée in Marçon is classified as a historic monument and was placed under protection in 2023. Between 1956 and 1958, it was built on pilotis from concrete, brick, wood and glass by Le Corbusier's office under the direction of André Wogensky. The furniture inside the Restaurant scolaire was designed by the architect.

It also features carved 16th-century choir stalls and a polychrome wooden Madonna and Child from the 18th century. An average of around 45 minutes is planned for an individual visit to the Notre-Dame Church in Marçon.
