    The Monument Aux Chars D'Assault - Chemin Des Dames is a national monument in honor of the French tank brigade that took part in General Nivelle's offensive on the Chemin des Dames on April 16, 1917. The monument stands on the site of Cholera's farm, which was destroyed by the Germans in 1914. The monument was inaugurated on July 2, 1922 by Marshal Foch and other high-ranking officers. The monument shows a replica of a Schneider CA1 tank, the first type of tank used by the French. The monument also pays tribute to the fallen tank crews, some of whose names are engraved on the monument. The monument is the scene of a commemoration ceremony every year.

      Located somewhat awkwardly on a busy street, this memorial is worth a stop! Decisive advances by the tank units towards the end of the First World War are hereby acknowledged. The model and photo give an idea of how warfare had changed.
