Poix-Terron

Tourism, holidays & weekends guide in the Ardennes

Ardennes village in Greater East region Poix-Terron takes place twenty kilometers from Charleville-Mezieres. It is not far Barbaise, Hagnicourt and Touligny, as well as thirty kilometers from Rethel.

Old, the common Poix-Terron was sadly illustrated history by heavily suffering from the throes of religious wars. In the seventeenth century, the town was indeed on fire and had the seat of his church, before seeing pass King Louis XIV and his troops a few years later. Headquarters of the famous story of Poix in 1870 during the Franco-Prussian war, it had a more peaceful history thereafter forging the face that it is today.

Today, the village of Poix-Terron still attracts visitors with its heritage and perfect location for exploring the department.
