As a memorial to the many dead, such a “MONUMENT AUX MORTS” (usually called a “cenotaph” or “war memorial” in German-speaking countries) is still very important today. “Now you, O Lord, are letting your servant depart in peace, as you said…” says the so-called “Song of Simeon” (Gospel of Luke chapter 2, verse 29). However, the people who are remembered here did not die in peace, but rather became victims of war and tyranny. This is why the term “Fallen Monument” is now sometimes used instead of the “war memorial” that was previously common in German. In the French-speaking world, however, this aspect of commemorating the dead has long been included through the commonly used term "MONUMENT AUX MORTS". Regardless of language and nation, such a monument has two important and at the same time eternal tasks: -1- To keep the memory of the suffering and horror of the war alive, -2- and to call for the lasting preservation of peace.

The Heroes' Monument in Sens is a memorial dedicated to soldiers who fell during the First World War. It is located on the Place des Héros, near the Saint-Savinien basilica and the ancient Carmel.

In the middle of the forest, you will find at this intersection a menhir 1.3 meters high with this plan.

This cycle path runs along the Yonne between Rosoy and Sens. It is paved, and therefore quite passable by road bike, provided you pay attention to walkers. It accesses the center of the town of Sens.

This pierced stone is in fact a megalith in cliquart sandstone (variety of hard sandstone) with a height of around 1.40 m in square shape and which, according to recent archaeological expertise, dates from the Iron Age (around 700 years BC) . It is located at the crossroads of two very pleasant roads that cross the forest.

Small chapel from 1637 in the middle of the woods, with a pretty roof in glazed Burgundy tiles. This chapel, dedicated to Saint Léonard de Noblat, has recently been restored. Unfortunately, the calm is spoiled by the highway which passes about 100m away; it is invisible, but perfectly audible.

Very pretty washhouse, at the foot of the church in the center of the village. This wash house is double, with a building on each side of the body of water. The surroundings are equipped for a rest or a picnic in peace and shade.
