The Michelin enameled lava stone signs are an iconic part of French traffic signage. Produced by Michelin between 1910 and 1971, these signs are made of durable lava stone, enameled and mounted on a concrete base. They were used to provide traffic information and tourist directions and are known for their durability and resistance to weather conditions. Michelin began offering these signs to municipalities as a form of advertising, often featuring the name "Michelin" on the signs.

Le Trou Aid Post Cemetery was established in October 1914 by British soldiers of the 19th Infantry Brigade during the First Battle of Ypres. The cemetery initially contained 123 graves, but was expanded after the war. It now contains over 350 graves, of which over 200 are unknown. The cemetery commemorates soldiers who died in a number of battles, including Le Maisnil (October 1914), Aubers Ridge (May 1915), Loos (September–October 1915), and Fromelles (July 1916). A special feature of the cemetery is its rural setting, surrounded by a narrow moat and sheltered by a grove of weeping willows. Visitors reach the cemetery via a footbridge and enter through a delicate cottage-style gate.

The Rue-Petillon Military Cemetery was established in December 1914 and was used by British troops until the spring offensive of 1918, when the area fell into German hands. After its recapture by the Allies in September 1918, the cemetery was expanded to include graves from isolated locations and smaller cemeteries. The cemetery contains 895 identified graves of soldiers who died during the First World War. Many of them died of their wounds in a dressing station located in the nearby buildings known as 'Eaton Hall'.

Amidst the quiet roads of western Lille lies this listed cemetery, which is the final resting place of hundreds of Commonwealth soldiers from the First World War.

The Chartreuse Notre-Dame-des-Sept-Douleurs de la Boutilerie was founded by Jean Le Vasseur, mayor of Lille. The first stone was laid on August 11, 1618, the work was completed in 1641. The monastery was very visited. Behind a monumental entrance gate and thick surrounding wall stood two towers housing the clock and the carillon. The library housed more than 2,300 books. The 92 meter long vaulted cloister was glazed and paved. The church, paved with white and black marble, was decorated with paintings by Arnoult Vuez. The altar was topped by a painting by Rubens. With the revolution, the Chartreuse was delivered into the hands of demolitionists. Postcards from the beginning of the 20th century still showed the monumental entrance gate in neoclassical style and the surrounding wall. During the First World War, the remains of the Chartreuse were marked by the conflict which was only a few hundred meters from the front line. The destruction caused the abbey to disappear, leaving only a few vestiges of the surrounding wall.

This almost century-old signage is a vestige of the old pre-war name of the roads, “Gc” corresponding to “chemin vicinal de Grande Communication”, ancestor of the departmental roads. A shell placed at the foot of the marker bears witness to the traces of the Great War, omnipresent in the surrounding area.

Very beautiful, very moving military cemetery.
