    The Nécropole Nationale de la Forestière in Lachalade is a military cemetery that keeps alive the memory of the soldiers who died in the First World War. This serene memorial was created in 1915 and later expanded to collect the remains of soldiers who fought in the Argonne region between 1914 and 1918. Today, 2,005 soldiers rest there, and the cemetery is famous for its blue, pink and white hydrangeas, planted by the Comtesse de Martimprey in tribute to her missing husband. The site has been classified as a World Heritage Site since September 2023, and nearby is a monument to the Italian volunteers who fought in the Argonne, including the grandsons of Giuseppe Garibaldi
