Car Hire Neufchateau - Mini guide to Neufchateau

Neufchâteau

The French medieval town of Neufchâteau in the eastern region of Lorraine has retained its rich history and architectural heritage. From a Gallo-Roman amphitheatre dating from Roman times to the natural beauty of nature preserves, there is much to see in this charming place.

Rue Jean d’Arc is an impressive street lined with mansions from the 17th and 18th century. Built of stone and sometimes with high, tile roofs, they are beautifully preserved. There are several monuments in town with fine examples of Romanesque architecture, and a variety of churches and public buildings dating from the 13th century. The Museum Liffol-le-Grand features a beautifully preserved amphitheatre dating back to Roman times.

The forests of this region once facilitated the development of furniture making, and fine cabinet work, joinery, sculpture, and tapestry are some of the trades native to this region. Violin making is also a local art form. Shoppers and collectors can also find local artisans who excel in ceramics and ironwork.

Local restaurants offer specialities of the region: cheese tortes and pies; chocolate; honey; and Mirabelle processed in jams, syrups, juices and pies. Several medium size hotels and a number of guesthouses can be found in town, and outside town are campgrounds and other types of holiday rentals.

A car hire is recommended to see Neufchâteau, the protected wetlands of the region and the many historic villages in the area. The nearby town of Domrémy-la-Pucelle is the hometown of Joan of Arc and the Bois-Chenu Basilica where she supposedly heard the angelic voices.

Neufchâteau is on the A5 autoroute between Chaumont and Paris and is served by the Metz-Nancy-Lorraine Airport an hour’s drive away. Neufchâteau car rental is best arranged in advance online to secure the best deal.
