Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: CHA-CHR
CHARLEVILLE , a town of north-eastern France, in the department of Ardennes, 151 m. N.E. of Paris on the Eastern railway. Pop. (1go6) 19,693. Charleville is situated within a bend of the Meuse on its left bank, opposite
Mezieres
 , with which it is united by a suspension
bridge
 . The town was founded in 16o6 by Charles III. (Gonzaga), duke of Nevers, afterwards duke of Mantua, and is laid out on a uniform plan. ' Its central and most interesting portion is the Place Ducale, a large square
surrounded by old houses with high-pitched roofs, the porches being arranged so as to form a continuous arcade; in the centre there is a fountain surmounted by a statue of the duke Charles. A handsome
church
  in the Romanesque style and the other public buildings date from the 19th century. An old mill,
standing
  on the bank of the river,
dates
  from the early years of the town's existence. On the right bank of the Meuse is Mont Olympe, with the ruins of a fortress dismantled under Louis XIV. Charleville, which shares with
Mezieres
  the administrative institutions of the department of Ardennes, has tribunals of first instance and of commerce, a chamber of commerce, a board of
trade
 -arbitrators and lycees and training colleges for both sexes. Its
chief
 
industries
  are metal-
founding
  and the manufacture of nails, anvils, tools and other iron goods, and brush-making; leather-working and
sugar
 -refining, and the making of bricks and clay pipes are also carried on.
