この散歩で最初に出会う十字架

A place of remembrance for the barbarity of war

Very good path coming from above West which descends without difficulty, watch out for barbed wire on the left separating the private plot. At the bottom, 2 fords to cross at low level and for a moment you find yourself between two streams.

It is between Etalle and Virton, very precisely in Croix-Rouge, that you will find the place called "Trou des Fées". Well known to the inhabitants of the region, this unique site is at the center of many legends relating to the history of D’jean dMady but also and especially to that of the fairies of Gaume.

It would evoke the dramatic outcome of a prank in which a worker at the Neuve Forge shot one of his colleagues who had disguised himself in a cowhide in order to scare him.

This cross was erected in memory of Lieutenant Renson, Count of Malterre, who fell with other hussars in a German ambush on August 22, 1914. On the same day, his regiment was decimated at Ethe.

333 French soldiers are buried in this cemetery. 267 of them have been identified and are buried in individual graves. 66 unknown individuals are buried in 35 individual or communal graves.

The Hussar Beech was painted around 1930 by the four Clément brothers, owners of the mill of the same name in Saint-Léger. Their favorite pastime was engraving and painting on tree trunks, an activity they carried out during hunting trips. The Hussar Beech received a new makeover this summer of 2014 thanks to the collaboration of the municipalities of Virton and Saint-Léger. The Grognard and the Madonna were made after the Hussar. But the three trees are worth the walk!
