Placed high on a mound and built on the former site of the Moulin de Vauclerc, which served as an observatory for the emperor, the limestone statue represents the Emperor scanning the horizon in a dignified position.

This memorial commemorates the residents of Cauroy-lès-Hermonville who were killed or missing in the Great War (World War I) and World War II.

On a raised point along the Chemin des Dames, on the site of the former Moulin de Vauclerc, stands a stone statue of Napoleon Bonaparte, erected in 1974. It marks the spot where Napoleon observed the Battle of Craonne on 7 March 1814, during the French campaign against Russian and Prussian forces. The battle claimed more than 12,000 lives. The emperor is depicted looking out over the horizon – a symbol of strategy, battle and memory.

During the First World War, Cerny-en-Laonnois was a strategic point along the Chemin des Dames, a ridge fiercely contested by French and German troops. In September 1914, the village was taken by the Germans, who used it as a defensive post. They dug deep underground networks in the limestone, which served as shelters and munitions stores. In the spring of 1917, the area became the scene of the Nivelle Offensive, a large-scale French attack that resulted in heavy losses and eventually led to mutinies within the French army. Cerny-en-Laonnois was completely destroyed by artillery fire and fighting. After the war, the village was rebuilt a little further south. Today, the military cemeteries, the memorial chapel and the “Lanterne des Morts” bear witness to the immense human suffering that took place here.
