History

La Martre is a stop along the Route Napoléon. On his return to Paris, Napoleon I stopped at the Logis du Pin inn in the municipality of La Martre on 3 March 1815.

The Scierie du Mont Brouis also points to times gone by: only a few sections of wall remain; the positions of the former windows are still visible. The Fontaine de La Martre has been documented since 1842 and was restored in 1909.
