Château-Thierry, Administrative commune in Hauts-de-France, France.
Château-Thierry stands on the banks of the Marne River, 90 kilometers from Paris, functioning as the central municipality of its arrondissement with medieval castle walls.
The town evolved from Castrum Theodorici after King Theuderic IV's imprisonment by Charles Martel in the 8th century, later becoming a strategic location during World War I.
Jean de La Fontaine, creator of influential French fables, originated from Château-Thierry, where his former residence now functions as a dedicated museum.
The railway station connects directly to Paris Gare de l'Est, serving as a regional terminus for transportation to surrounding communes within the arrondissement.
The municipality received both the Legion of Honour and Croix de guerre 1914-1918 for its resistance and support of American forces during World War I.
