La Ferté-sous-Jouarre is a commune in the Seine-et-Marne département in the Île-de-France region in north-central France. It is located at a crossing point over the River Marne between Meaux and Château-Thierry. ==History== In 1819, Edinburgh born naval officer Norwich Duff (1792–1862) recorded a note on La Ferté at a time when, it would appear, the Bourbon Restoration had led to a sudden halt in the Napoleonic road building boom. Then, as in too many subsequent years, memories of wartime destruction were fresh in this region: The artist Émile Bayard was born in this town (1837). On 14 August 1921, the town of La Ferté-sous-Jouarre was awarded the War Cross with the following citation: On the south-western edge of the town, on the south bank of the River Marne, is the La Ferté-sous-Jouarre memorial, commemorating over 3000 British soldiers with no known grave, who fell in fighting in the area. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「La Ferté-sous-Jouarre」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
