Nestled in the middle of the woods, on the verge of Omignon and its ponds, the village has an exceptional quality of life. The fauna and flora are rich and varied. It is very usual to see the game flow in the streets of Caulaincourt.

From crusades to the imperial battles, the name of Caulaincourt was raised around the world by several generations of soldiers and diplomats from an old Picardy family.
