In the early 19th century, the city of Sedan underwent urban renovations. The demolition of the Floing bastion made way for a new quarter, which was decorated with a square bearing the name of Turenne. A bronze statue of Turenne, erected in 1821, stands in the center of the square.
The square has a great unity in its construction. The town hall and the courthouse, which face each other, are similar in their columns, frieze and cornices. The pediment of the town hall bears the city's coats of arms, namely a wild boar in front of an oak.

La fontaine du Dauphin

Highlight • Other

Near the moat of the Château de Sedan is the Dauphine Fountain. The current fountain, dating from 1787, replaces a first, the original, built in honor of the Grand Dauphin, son of Louis XIV. Water from the fountain comes out through the mouth of a male face. It is made of stone and is topped with a rather neutral pediment. According to the anecdote, on the day of the inauguration, wine was served to the people there instead of water.

Sedan City Center

Highlight • Settlement

Sedan is a princely city. This former principality is dominated by its immense fortified castle. It is the work of the princes of Sedan.

It offers the possibility, by walking through its streets, to discover little-known episodes in the history of France. In addition to the heritage house and the castle, you will find beautiful green spaces and pleasant pedestrian streets.

Turenne High School

Highlight • Historical Site

The Lycée Turenne, built in 1883 by the architect Depaquit as a continuation of the Jesuit college, this building forms a harmonious whole that adopts the codes of the 17th century architecture of the Prince's Palace (stones cut in vermiculated bossage). In 1884, the Sedan Gustave Deloye sculpted a bas-relief on the facade depicting Turenne, a child, sleeping on the carriage of a cannon.
