Facts and practical information

The collegiate church of Notre-Dame de Vitry-le-François is an old collegiate church located on the Place d'Armes, in Vitry-le-François, in the department of Marne. It was built in the seventeenth century, in the city founded in 1545 by Francis I, who gave it its name and arms, after the total destruction by Charles V of the old medieval stronghold of Vitry-en-Perthois, which had already been partially dismantled in the thirteenth century.

The collegiate church has been classified as a historical monument since September 13, 1920.
