August 1914. Germany's aim is then to capture Verdun. Marshal Joffre and the French General Staff anticipate that German troops will take Verdun across the Argonne to the west and disarm the Saint-Mihiel garrison to reinforce French troops to the west as German troops will be unable to do so , to cross the marshy areas of the Woëvre and the barrier that the Côtes de Meuse form. Saint-Mihiel is disarmed, the defenses of the Fort du Camp des Romains, which dominates the town and the valley, are significantly reduced. German troops overcome this barrier against all odds, the fort falls in a few hours, Saint-Mihiel is taken.
French troops block invasion at Côtes de Meuse and Bois d'Ailly. The Saint-Mihiel Salient is formed.

Good trace, but little interest on the camp of the Romans which is of the Military domain, therefore forbidden to enter the enclosure of the fort of the camp of the Romans, because it is in pitiful state following the war of 14 and its state of abandonment

If the site housed a Roman camp, it was later a military fort which suffered greatly during the First World War. The site offers an essential and remarkable mountain bike course as the trails are playful and fun to ride as long as you have sufficient technical skills. We thus appreciate both the place and the trails. On the way back, it can make you want to know more about the history of this truly original site.
