Hiking
The California Plateau is a historic site that was the scene of fierce battles during World War I. Today it is a wooded area with trails that offer panoramic views of the Aisne valley and the remains of trenches and shell craters. The plateau is classified as a red zone, which means that the ground is still contaminated by explosives and chemical weapons. You must not deviate from marked trails and respect the signs indicating dangerous areas. The plateau is also a place of memory and commemoration for the soldiers who fought and died there.
