2026 RALLY OF THE ASSOCIATION

Sunday 20 September 2026

 

The Association de la Montée Historique follows in the footsteps of Viollet-le-Duc

Once again this year, the Association’s traditional rally coincided with European Heritage Days, a wonderful opportunity to pay tribute to Eugène Viollet-le-Duc, the illustrious 19th-century architect.

To mark the occasion, the Association de la Montée Historique invited its members to follow in the footsteps of this iconic figure on a journey blending history, culture and discovery.

The day began with breakfast at Magic-Bowling in Laon, before setting off on a 70-kilometre journey punctuated by puzzles, heading for Pierrefonds via Coucy-le-Château.

Lunch was served at the foot of the magnificent Château de Pierrefonds.

The return journey was enlivened by a game which proved a great success with the participants.

A cocktail reception at the restaurant ‘La Boucherie’ in Laon gave everyone the chance to get together in a warm and friendly atmosphere to round off the day.

 

Podium for the puzzles and the game:

– 1st team : MEURET Jérôme / MEURET Sophie in Alpine A110 R

– 2nd team : CEREZO David / CHEREAU Séverine in Ford Mustang

– 3rd team : THIEBLEMONT Julien / THIEBLEMONT Léandre in Peugeot 403
