A cemetery worth seeing, one of five in Normandy. A very well-designed and, above all, well-maintained facility. What's particularly shocking is the age of the soldiers; very few of them were even 20 or 21 years old.

The centerpiece of the complex is the communal graves and the nearly six-meter-high burial mound. Instead of individual crosses as grave markers, there are groups of symbolic crosses without names.
The burial mound contains the remains of 207 unknown and 89 known dead.
