From the Pointe des Crolles, enjoy a panoramic view with the port of La Houle on one side and the oyster farms for which the town is famous on the other. On a clear day, Mont Saint-Michel is also visible.

Below the Monument aux Morts, a small sign indicates the zero kilometer of the hiking trail.

As a memorial to the many dead, such a “MONUMENT AUX MORTS” (usually called a “Central Memorial” or “War Memorial” in German-speaking countries) is still very important today. “Now, Lord, you let your servant depart in peace, as you have said...” it says in the so-called “Hymn of Praise of Simeon” (Luke’s Gospel, Chapter 2, Verse 29). However, the people who are remembered here did not depart in peace, but became victims of war and tyranny. Therefore, the term “Fallen Memorial” is now sometimes used instead of the “War Memorial” that was previously common in German. In the French-speaking world, however, this aspect of commemoration of the dead has long been included in the most commonly used term “MONUMENT AUX MORTS”.
Regardless of language and nation, such a memorial has two important and at the same time everlasting tasks:
-1- To keep alive the memory of the suffering and horror of war,
-2- and to remind people of the need to maintain peace in the long term.
