View of Le Longeau Valley

The monument was created in 1930 by the sculptor Duilio Donzelli, originally from Lacroix-sur-Meuse. Like many French villages after the Great War, Bonzée erected this monument to pay tribute to the local soldiers who gave their lives for France. The names of the fallen are listed on the monument, often with inscriptions such as "Mort pour la France" or "Tué à l'ennemi". What makes it extra special is that Bonzée is located in an area that was badly affected during the war, near the infamous ridge of Les Éparges. The monument is therefore not only a symbol of mourning, but also of the deep scars that the conflict has left in this region.

The Saint-Laurent church in Bonzée, originally from the 18th century, destroyed in 1914, rebuilt in 1927.

This serene military cemetery was founded in 1915 and is the home of 2,960 French soldiers who fell during the bloody battles around the Crête des Éparges. Among them was Robert Porchon, friend of the writer Maurice Genevoix. The necropolis is located in the Hadimel ravine, at the foot of the ridge, and contains an ossuary with 852 unknown soldiers. A silent witness to the hell of trench warfare.

This village was an important Benedictine center in the Middle Ages, at the origin of an important reform of the Benedictine order (see https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abbaye_de_Gorze).

Nice village with art everywhere...there is plenty to discover.

Strange village filled with sculptures, paintings, and suspensions. It's everywhere. If you have time, put your foot down and take the time to visit. And don't forget when entering the church to put your things on the coat rack if you can 😂.
