The town hall is located on the site of a 17th-century Recollects monastery, founded by the Bishop of Châlons-en-Champagne. After being largely destroyed during the Second World War, it was rebuilt according to 19th-century plans. The beautiful garden features the facade of the former chapel of the Collège des garçons, which burned down in 1940, and the Adam and Eve group by sculptor Alphonse Terroir, a gift from the City of Paris.

The Porte du Pont is a monument in Vitry-le-François, in the Marne department. It is a classical gate built in 1746 in honour of Louis XIV. It was the western entrance to the fortified town of Vitry-le-François. It is the only remnant of the four gates that once formed the town. It was classified as a historical monument in 1920. It was demolished in 1938 and rebuilt in 1982 on its present site, at the northern entrance to the town. It stands as a testament to the history and architecture of Vitry-le-François.

A Catholic church founded by Francis I. From certain angles, the building resembles Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris. The interior is sumptuous, with incredible light and high ceilings. You will discover, among other things, two splendid organs, a magnificent pulpit, and a multitude of details revealed by backlighting in the chapels. Guided tours are available upon request.
