Discover Maubert-Fontaine

Maubert-Fontaine offers a variety of ways to enjoy a stay: forest paths invite you to take walks, while the church, memorial and other historical points of interest offer insights into the town’s history. The following information relates these interests to specific places and conditions.

Walks and local points of interest

Forest paths near Maubert-Fontaine invite you to take walks; the Chêne à 2 pattes is also a sight to see. A route runs from the Stèle de Saint Rémi via the Allée forestière de la Fille Morte to the Concasseur. This names both a starting point and a destination for the route. Check local conditions before setting out.

This information is useful for different kinds of planning: forest paths offer a general option for a walk, while the Allée forestière has a named starting point and destination. This can help you decide whether to plan more flexibly or include specific place names in your walking plans. The Concasseur is also associated with important quarries that were exploited by the Germans in 1915. This connects the route information to a historical topic.

Memorial and local history

The Église Saint-Nicolas is one of the many monuments in Maubert-Fontaine. The church houses the war memorial created by Henri Migeot, a sculptor from Maubert-Fontaine. The local connection stems both from the memorial’s location and its creator’s origins. This commemorative monument thus brings together a specific place and a person from the community.

Maubert-Fontaine was recognized by the Charte de Milon de Nanteuil of 1208. Another historical episode links the town to Napoléon Bonaparte: on the evening after the Battle of Waterloo, he rested at the Hôtel du Grand Turc. Alongside the history of the quarries, these provide different points of reference in time: the recognition in 1208, the episode after Waterloo and the exploitation of the quarries in 1915. Your historical choices therefore include a medieval connection, a Napoleonic episode and the history of the Concasseur.
