Variscourt oppidum

En un regard

Le château en bref

The Variscourt oppidum, shared between Condé-sur-Suippe and Variscourt, occupies the low terrace of the Aisne valley at its confluence with the Suippe. A rampart of about two kilometres cuts across a meander of the river. The Mérimée entry (PA00116011) describes a Gaulish town plan with wells, silos, workshops, pits, ovens and hearths, and ranks it among the most important Gaulish settlements known in Europe. It has been listed as a monument historique by order of 27 July 1992; the land is divided between the State, the département, a private company and private owners.
