Along the water in Esternay
Esternay has been inhabited since antiquity, as we know by the excavations undertaken during the construction of the national road 4.
It is believed that the first fort was built under Julius Caesar, to maintain the submission of the peoples of the region and monitor the Roman road that passed through Tréfols. This fortress was built in the middle of the marshes which made it impenetrable, hence its name Starnacum (lower place).
Today, the town offers its 1900 inhabitants a pleasant living environment. With a college, shops and local services, it also has a very varied range of leisure activities.
