Here, in 1792, during the Battle of Valmy, French troops stood against the Prussian armies. A simple windmill on a hill… which became a symbol of resistance.

Part of the Team Rynkeby Berlin tour in 2024. Nice spot for a break.

Great view of the city and walk through the old cemetery

The old building, which now houses a cinema and a brasserie, used to be the city's festival hall. On old postcards (web search: ancienne salle des fetes) you can see the original condition.

As a memorial to the many war dead, such places - usually referred to as "war graves" or "honorary cemeteries" - are still very important today. "Now, Lord, let your servant go in peace, as you said." However, the many people buried here were by no means divorced in peace, but became victims of the war and an inhuman tyranny. The most important and everlasting function of the soldiers' or honorary cemeteries or war cemeteries is therefore to commemorate this and to remind each generation anew to preserve peace over the long term.

Very pleasant to drive due to the good surface and little traffic. With a bit of luck, a TGV will rush under you on the bridge.

The three-nave Gothic church dates from the 13th century and was rebuilt in the 15th and 18th centuries. It fits harmoniously with the medieval upper town of Sainte Menehould.

5700 soldiers who died in the hospitals of Sainte Menehould during the First World War are buried here.
