Suippes is a commune in the Marne department in north-eastern France.
It is home to France's 40th Artillery Regiment and was once home to 15th Artillery Regiment which operated the nuclear Pluton missile as part of France's deterrent during the Cold war. During early months of World War One, British soldiers were deployed here and were to march to Châlons-sur-Marne to fight the First Battle of the Marne.
The commune is traversed by the Suippe river, from which it takes its name.
The lines of light
They tell my mind I'm a child
Time passes by
And from it, I cannot hide
The seasons know
But they wont show, they won't let go
No matter now
No matter now, time is slow
