    At this viewpoint stands a steel observation capsule from the First World War.

    It's hard to believe that brutal trench warfare took place here in 1914/15.

    Today, the landscape offers a peaceful view of meadows and forests.

    La Fontenelle (hill 627) forms a remarkable “balcony” overlooking the Rabodeau and Hure valleys. This strategic location, initially held by the French, was captured by the Germans on 22 June 1915. After a perfectly coordinated attack, the French recaptured the site on 8 and 9 July 1915 and held it until the end of the war. La Fontenelle was also the scene of a short mine warfare.
