    Tips

    December 6, 2021

    La Main de Massiges is an exceptional place: It is a living archaeological site that you can visit and explore for free. It is also an extremely touching place of remarkable memory. These are German and French trench lines from the First World War. Excavations by archaeologists still take place, and bodies of soldiers from both countries are raised from the ground and returned to their families every year more than 100 years after their disappearance. By walking among these trenches you will relive the daily life of soldiers and their very difficult living conditions. The Suippes military camp happens to be very close, and shots of military training cannons echo in the silence of the place giving an even more poignant character to this extraordinary visit.
