Rethel, Administrative center in Ardennes, France
Rethel stands on the banks of the Aisne River, serving as a sub-prefecture of the Ardennes department, located 37 kilometers from Reims.
The settlement originated around 940 when the first counts of Rethel constructed a castle, later developing defensive fortifications in 1357 under Louis III.
The Louis Jouvet Theater and Agora Media Center form the cultural nucleus of Rethel, offering performances, exhibitions, and literary resources to residents.
The town maintains a weekly Thursday market and contains a train station with direct connections to Paris, reaching the capital in 70 minutes.
The Rethel Roller Hockey team has achieved multiple French and European championships, establishing the town as a center for this sport.
