It stands on the spot where the French army suffered heavy losses in the battle against the German defenses. The stone also pays tribute to the destroyed village of Craonne, which was not rebuilt after the war.

Deep beneath the Chemin des Dames plateau lies the Caverne du Dragon, a former limestone quarry that was transformed into a strategic underground fortress during the First World War. From 1915, German troops took over the cave and built dormitories, a chapel, an aid station and even an electricity network. Later, the cave was partially retaken by the French, and both armies temporarily lived side by side, separated by walls in the darkness. The name “Caverne du Dragon” (Drachenhöhle) refers to the mythical dragon from Germanic legends, inspired by the smoke that rose from the loopholes as if from the mouth of a monster. Today, the cave is a museum and memorial site, where visitors can explore the underground passages and experience the traces of soldiers’ lives in the depths.

On the eastern edge of the Chemin des Dames plateau lies the Ferme d’Hurtebise, a place that played a crucial role during both the Napoleonic Wars and the First World War. In 1814, it was the scene of the Battle of Craonne, and exactly a century later it again became a strategic junction in the struggle between French and German troops. From September 1914 onwards, fierce fighting took place here. The farm overlooked the Ailette and Aisne valleys, making it a fiercely contested observation post. French units, including Zouaves and the 12th and 49th Infantry Regiments, tried to hold or retake the farm, often with heavy losses. The family that owned the farm sheltered in the cellar for days while the building was under fire. After months of fighting and bombardment, the farm was reduced to ruins, crisscrossed by trenches. Today the site is a symbol of resistance and sacrifice, and is part of the Chemin des Dames memorial landscape.

Louis Astoul: Along the D18 on the Chemin des Dames, between Cerny-en-Laonnois and the Caverne du Dragon, stands a modest monument to Louis Astoul, a young French second lieutenant in the 70th regiment of tirailleurs sénégalais. He was killed on 16 April 1917, on the first day of the disastrous Nivelle Offensive, at the age of just 24. The monument honours not only him, but also his comrades – mostly colonial soldiers from West Africa – who gave their lives in this region in the hope of a breakthrough that never came. Astoul was reported missing near the village of Paissy, and his body was never found. Today, this memorial recalls the often forgotten role of colonial troops in the Great War, and the personal drama behind the great history.

Craonne is special among the memorial sites for France. In addition to the tragic destruction of the place, this has to do with the unfortunate battle, the errors of the army leadership and the soldiers' protests. A testimony is the famous song "Chanson de Craonne".
