Aiglemont: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes

The Chapelle Saint-Quentin is historically closely linked to the origins of Aiglemont. As early as the 9th century, it was dedicated to Saint Quentin de Champeau because it housed the martyr’s relics. The Chapelle Saint-Quentin in Aiglemont has been renovated.

Culture

The washhouses of Aiglemont date back to 1876 and were built from rubble stone from the Guillemin quarries in Aiglemont and Dom-le-Mesnil. The Lavoir de la Pisselotte washhouse still exists; the springs that feed it never run dry.

On 14 June 1903, Fortuné Henry arrived in Aiglemont to found the libertarian community “L’Essai”. The historic site of “L’Essai” was established in the forests of Gesly. “L’Essai” was an attempt to implement anarchist theories that was unique in the Ardennes and one of the few experiments of its kind in France.
