The problem is sometimes you can be too specialised. Sedan, well what can I say, small town in the middle (well edge actually) of France. Once a town of great wealth and the largest Medieval fortified castle in Europe. However, it cast its chance on making 'sheets for the King'. Well I think we all know what happened to the French royal family. Now, well it's a shame it just seems to have lost the plot. Two serious incursions by the Germans in two conflicts cannot help. Anyway back to the sheets. How many sheets did the Royal Family need to support a town, apparently quite a lot!
The Royal sheet factory - Royale de Draps du Dijonval 1646, now part of the hospital.
A once great villa in need of serious work
It's not all bad though if you're a football fan as Sedan is one of the big French teams. The size of the stadium proves it.
