AI overview
Villers-Cotterêts is a small town in northern France that holds two important places in French history: it was where the Ordinance of Villers-Cotterêts was signed in 1539, establishing French as the official language for legal documents instead of Latin, and it was the birthplace of the famous novelist Alexandre Dumas père in 1802. These events make it significant for both the development of the French language and French literature.
