The first battle

Today Chateau Thierry seemed like a great little town. There is an old castle that looked worth investigating, small shops and restaurants. But we had little time and came only to see the memorial and try to find the bridge over the Marne that was so vital to Paris's defense. You learn about history in books,,,but here the history still lives.
