Fields of Battle - Aisne

First mentioned in 893, established by the Benedictine abbey of St Medard in Soissons as a small monastery and farm. Fortified during the 14th century - known as the "La Grange du Diable'. Legend is that the Devil promised to build it in one night in exchange for the soul of the builder: however the crafty builder woke up the cock just as Satan laid the last stone and so saved his soul
