    The Heroes' Monument in Sens is a memorial dedicated to soldiers who fell during the First World War. It is located on the Place des Héros, near the Saint-Savinien basilica and the ancient Carmel.

      As a memorial to the many dead, such a “MONUMENT AUX MORTS” (usually called a “cenotaph” or “war memorial” in German-speaking countries) is still very important today. “Now you, O Lord, are letting your servant depart in peace, as you said…” says the so-called “Song of Simeon” (Gospel of Luke chapter 2, verse 29). However, the people who are remembered here did not die in peace, but rather became victims of war and tyranny. This is why the term “Fallen Monument” is now sometimes used instead of the “war memorial” that was previously common in German. In the French-speaking world, however, this aspect of commemorating the dead has long been included through the commonly used term "MONUMENT AUX MORTS".
      Regardless of language and nation, such a monument has two important and at the same time eternal tasks:
      -1- To keep the memory of the suffering and horror of the war alive,
      -2- and to call for the lasting preservation of peace.
