Free entrance and a beautiful view of the entire area. Moreover, there is still a piece of war history connected to this tower. Worth the effort

The access is not optimal from the south and you have to walk the last few meters, but anyone who visits this historic headquarters of Mangin will get a good overview of the strategic location. From here the advance would succeed at the end of the First World War, which established Mangin's fame. An example of this is his monument in Soissons.
The reconstruction of the tower was successful and people like to climb it, otherwise you feel a bit "far out" here today, with some monuments to companies and soldiers on the way, including GB, USA.

The French counterattack was coordinated from here: General Mangin's observation tower.
