History
* In earlier times, the town flourished, due mainly to the importance of the castle of the dukes of Luynes. * During World War II, the town was subject to much destruction in June 1940. The Market hall was destroyed. * The years 1985-2000 saw the closure of several important economical activities, resulting in high unemployment Image:Airaines Tours de Luynes avant 1914.jpg|The towers before 1914 Image:Airaines tours de Luynes 1.jpg|Luynes towers in 2007 Image:Airaines Notre-Dame avant 1914.jpg|Notre-Dame church before 1914 Image:Airaines Halle.jpg|Market hall before 1914
