National Necropolis

Originally built in the 12th century, this church was rebuilt and expanded in the 18th century. The square Romanesque bell tower was raised in 1712 and topped with a striking onion-shaped dome, built by Polish carpenters at the initiative of Stanislas Leszczyński, King of Poland and Duke of Lorraine. The church was badly damaged during WWI, but was restored in the 1920s. Inside, you will find stained glass windows by Frères Ott (Strasbourg) and murals in friezes. The church has been protected as a historical monument since 1995.

La Petite-Fosse – Front village with memory This small village in the Vosges (altitude: 440–870 m) has barely 80 inhabitants, but played a prominent role during the First World War. The western front line ran right through the village, with heavy fighting around the nearby Spitzenberg. For its courageous resistance, La Petite-Fosse was awarded the Croix de Guerre in 1920. Today it is a peaceful place with a view of the surrounding mountains.

Historic village in the Vosges Ban-de-Sapt is located on a strategic height in the Vosges and was the scene of fierce fighting during WWI, especially around the côte 627. Today it is a peaceful place with a rich culture of remembrance. The Nécropole nationale de la Fontenelle, original trenches, a panoramic table and a rare steel observation capsule from WWI make the village a unique destination for those who want to combine nature and history.

This military cemetery at the top of Côte 627 commemorates the fierce battles of 1915 between French and German troops in the Vosges. The necropolis was built between 1921 and 1923 and contains 2,346 graves, 1,382 of which are in ossuaries. At its heart is a monumental memorial – a “phare” or lighthouse – designed by Émile Bachelet, visible from the entire valley. The site was strategically crucial: on 22 June 1915, German troops took the heights, but on 8 and 9 July the French recaptured the terrain.
