Tips
In commemoration of the famous charge of the Cuirassiers division of General Bonnemains on August 6, 1870, a monument is erected along the road to Froeschwiller. This monument is a tribute to the courageous sacrifice of the cuirassiers, who valiantly held back the Prussian army and protected the majority of MacMahon's French troops.
