神の母マリアの助けへの信心深い信頼――これはサント・メヌー（Sainte-Menehould）だけでなく、フランス全土で常に「ノートルダム」（Notre-Dame、ドイツ語では「Unserer Lieben Frau」に相当）として崇拝されている――は、フランスの修道女、神秘家、教会博士である聖テレジア・オブ・リジュー（修道名：幼子イエスの聖テレジア、1873年～1897年）によって、次のように表現されています。「試練や困難に際しては、マリア母に頼ります。その眼差しだけで、あらゆる恐怖を追い払うのに十分です。」

The ossuary contains the remains of approximately 10,000 unknown soldiers of various nationalities.

Ravin du Génie: Located in the woods of Lachalade, less than 1.2 km from the front line, this ravine was an important logistical camp for the French engineers during WWI. Soldiers found rest there, and equipment was stored for mine warfare in the Argonne. Today it is an open-air museum with the remains of barracks, warehouses and trenches – a tangible reminder of daily life behind the front. Free access with information panels.
