Monument in memory of André Maginot, a French politician who volunteered for the army in 1914. He was wounded near Verdun, but remained bravely at his post. After the war, as a minister, he committed himself to strengthening the French defense, which eventually led to the construction of the famous Maginot Line.

In 1929, while he was Minister of War, André Maginot obtained the vote of the deputies to release the financing necessary for the construction of a line of fortifications along the Franco-German border. This memorial is dedicated to him.
