Among the thousands of fallen soldiers who rest here is Caporal Louis Micol, a soldier of the 19th Battalion of Chasseurs à Pied. He was not only a soldier, but also the founder of one of the first French front newspapers: Le Son du Cor, a trench newspaper written by and for soldiers. Micol died on 18 September 1915 in Brabant-en-Argonne and is buried in grave no. 390. His story is a reminder that even in the midst of the violence of war, soldiers sought ways to make their voices heard, share experiences and preserve their humanity.

This church, dedicated to Saint-Baudel, originally dates from the 11th century, as evidenced by the use of the typical opus spicatum masonry in the north wall. Over the centuries, the building has been modified and restored several times, resulting in a striking mix of architectural styles. Inside, you will find wooden seating boxes for the faithful and a 19th-century pulpit – silent witnesses to religious life in this village on the Meuse. Note the symbolic animal figures at the ends of the roof beams.

At this location, you are standing in front of the memorial of Blessed Jeanne Gérard, a nun with the Daughters of Charity of Saint Vincent de Paul, who devoted her life to the sick and the poor and met a tragic end. In fact, she was beheaded during the Terror. Jeanne Gérard was the first of the four nuns to be guillotined on 25 June 1794. In 1920, they were all beatified by Pope Pius X. Historical context: Because Jeanne Gérard refused to take the constitutional oath, she was arrested and transferred to Cambrai in 1794, where she was guillotined. She was beatified in 1920 and given the title of ‘Blessed’. A monument was erected in Cumières in her memory in 1960. A bas-relief of her image is still visible.

The Devil's Hood is the name given to a huge stone located at the exit of the village of Milly sur Bradon in the direction of Murvaux on the right, in a property currently owned by the Lehuraux family. It looks like a parallelepiped that is 3 m high, 1.80 m wide and 0.6 m thick. The part buried in the ground is more than 1.6 m long. It is certain that this mass was placed there by the hand of man, since it is formed of coral limestone like that of the coast of Saint Germain or one of the neighboring coasts.
