During the opening stages of the First World War, Manre was at the heart of the Battle of the Frontiers (August 1914), a series of bloody confrontations between French and German troops in the Ardennes. The region was severely affected by artillery fire and troop movements. Close to the front line, Manre experienced evacuations, destruction and military occupation. Today, it is a silent witness to the chaos of 1914, with traces of trenches and monuments in the area that recall the fierce fighting.
