Mont César rises to a height of 138 meters on the left bank of the Thérain River, near the hamlet of Froidmont, in the municipality of Bailleul-sur-Thérain, in the Oise department. The hill, which overlooks the valley and surrounding marshes, has been inhabited since the Bronze Age and was likely a Gallo-Roman oppidum on an ancient, fortified Gallic camp. Archaeological excavations carried out since the 18th century have unearthed numerous objects and remains of fortifications. During excavations conducted in 1878 by Isidore Berton, Gallic coins and various objects from the Roman period were discovered. Want to know more?

The current church was built in 1803 on the site of the old church. It was restored in 1842. The bell, cast in Douai in 1862, bears the name of its godmother: Aimée Charlotte Henriette de Richoufftz. Its baptismal name, like many bells in our villages, was given after a blessing. It was installed in the steeple, built of cut stone, in 1874, thanks to the generosity of the Richoufftz family. The sound of the bell punctuated rural life and informed the inhabitants of certain events, announcing the dangers, joys, or sorrows of daily life. The church's stained-glass windows feature the Richoufftz family crest: three gold stag heads on a blue background. Manin Castle, built in 1745, is located behind the church.

Such places are still very important today as memorials to the countless war dead. "Now, Lord, you let your servant depart in peace, as you have said..." says the so-called "Hymn of Simeon" (Luke's Gospel, Chapter 2, Verse 29). However, the many people buried here did not depart in peace, but became victims of war and an inhuman tyranny. The most important and at the same time everlasting function of the military or honorary cemeteries or war graves is therefore to keep the memory of this suffering alive and - every generation anew (!) - to remind them of the need to maintain peace in the long term.

One of the rare trestles (or headframes, we can say both) still standing (although this one has probably been moved). These trestles were in fact the elevators which allowed the miners to descend into the pit.

Monument to the dead of Neuville-Saint-Vaast during the two world wars. The village was evacuated at the start of the Great War, destroyed by the fighting of 1915. The village was completely rebuilt after the war, hence its motto Resurgam and its coat of arms with the phoenix. The reconstruction was completed in the 1930s.
