アブレン＝サン＝ナゼール旧教会の遺跡は、第一次世界大戦の印象的で象徴的な遺物です。16世紀にジャック・ル・カロンによって華麗なゴシック様式で建てられたこの教会は、1915年の戦闘中にひどく損傷しました。この遺跡は、戦争の悲劇を記念するモニュメントとして保存されています。

A remarkable story about the ruins concerns the decision not to rebuild the church after the war. Although the church had been classified as a historical monument in 1908, the Commission for Historical Monuments decided that the ruins should remain as a testimony to the German destruction. Ironically, it was the French guns that had destroyed the church, but the ruins became a symbol of the war and the reconstruction.

You absolutely have to see it. The climb is worth it ;-)

From the top of a hill, the panorama from Mont-Saint-Eloi extends over the entire Scarpe valley and the Artois plain. The village is known for the ruins of its abbey, and the two towers dominate the surrounding landscape.

You have to make an effort to do the climb, take a little breath

Gorre British and Indian Cemetery is a cemetery in Gorre, France. It contains the graves of over 900 Commonwealth soldiers who died in the First World War. The cemetery was designed by Charles Holden and is maintained by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission. Gorre Castle was occupied early in the war by troops serving with the British Expeditionary Force and the Indian Corps, and the burial ground, located in the south-east corner of the original castle grounds, was begun in the autumn of 1914. The Indian section of the cemetery was closed in October 1915, shortly before the Indian infantry divisions left France for redeployment to the Middle East. Many of those now buried in Plots V and VI of the British section of the cemetery were killed during the Battle of Estaires in April 1918.

Post Office Rifles Cemetery is a British military cemetery for the dead of the First World War. It is located in the French commune of Festubert along the Rue de Béthune, 800 m west of the village centre.

The two towers of Mont-Saint-Éloi dominate the Arras region. They can be seen from afar. They shape the landscape of the Artois plains. They are a landmark for those walking in the surrounding area. Located on a hill seven kilometers northwest of Arras, the two towers of Mont-Saint-Éloi are the monumental remains of an abbey with a thousand-year history. Listed as a historical monument since 1921 and owned by the Pas-de-Calais Department since 2008, the two towers are the subject of a scientific and cultural project to raise awareness and promote their heritage. Between 2010 and 2015, the Department carried out restoration work, and its archaeology department conducted six excavations.
