    Tips

    October 1, 2023

    The California Plateau Observation Tower is a wooden tower inaugurated in 2013 that stands 20 meters high on the eastern edge of the California Plateau, a strategic site during the First World War. From the top of the tower, you can admire the landscape of the Chemin des Dames, the village of Craonne and the Champagne plain. You can also discover the importance of the high points during the war and the battles that took place on this plateau. The tower is freely accessible all year round, but may be closed in case of bad weather. The California Plateau Observation Tour is a unique place to discover the history and beauty of this region.
