Hardly passable with luggage, good for gravel bikes, better take the D road north

Part of the Team Rynkeby Berlin tour in 2024. What a lovely place to have a break. 😍 And a sip. 😉

Sometimes grassy, always rolling

As a memorial to the endless number of war dead, such a “Cimetiere militaire” – in German they are usually referred to as a “war cemetery” or “soldiers' cemetery” – is still very important today. "Now you, O Lord, let your servant depart in peace, as you said..." says the so-called "Song of Simeon" (Gospel of Luke chapter 2, verse 29). However, the many people buried here by no means died in peace, but rather became victims of war and an inhumane tyranny. The most important and at the same time enduring function of military or honorary cemeteries or war cemeteries is to keep the memory of this suffering alive and - every generation anew (!) - to remind us of the lasting preservation of peace.

A touching, evocative place that, like so many in France, recalls the misery of the world wars (in this case the first).

Well-developed bike path along the canal.

The monument is dedicated to the two battles of the Marne. The site was chosen by Marshal Foch. The ossuary contains the bones of 1,500 unknown soldiers. In front of the chapel you have a magnificent view of the Marne Valley.
