The local attachment to rural traditions and vernacular heritage is palpable. It is a convenient starting point for exploring neighboring Thiérache villages and landscapes.
Heritage and history
Le Nouvion is part of the long history of the Thiérache, a region marked by specific religious and agricultural constructions. Around the market town, there are religious buildings and rural houses that reflect past agricultural ways of life.
