Tour Musée, Porte de Soissons, Coucy-le-Château
Building, living in, defending Coucy
The château de Coucy was built, maintained and defended by people of whom history has recorded few names: stonecutters, peasant women and men, craftspeople, townsfolk. In the Tour Musée, we tell the story of their lives and work, based on the sources.

Each panel bears a drawing. Point your phone at it: texts, images, videos and sounds prepared by the association appear on top of it. Without a phone, the panel can be read in full.
The characters
Each record presents a trade or a condition, not a specific person: what manuscripts, archives, excavations and the work of historians tell us about it, with sources cited.
