The Nécropole nationale de Notre-Dame-de-Lorette is one of the largest and most impressive military cemeteries in France. Situated on a hill in Ablain-Saint-Nazaire, this cemetery contains the graves of more than 42,000 soldiers who died during the First World War. The cemetery was inaugurated in 1925 and includes a basilica, a tower-lantern and a museum.

The Anneau de la Mémoire is an impressive monument commemorating the 576,606 soldiers of forty different nationalities who died in Nord-Pas-de-Calais during the First World War. The monument was designed by Philippe Prost and was unveiled on 11 November 2014, the 96th anniversary of Armistice Day. It consists of 500 metal panels, each approximately 3 metres high, arranged in an elliptical shape. The names of the soldiers are listed alphabetically, without distinction of rank or nationality.

A superb monument commemorating the centenary of the Great War. It features nearly 500,000 names engraved in alphabetical order. Without distinction of rank, they come from soldiers of some forty different nationalities, all of whom fell on the front lines of Nord-Pas-de-Calais between 1914 and 1918.

The church dedicated to the Mother of God under the title "Notre-Dame de Lorette" rises in brilliant white and is visible from far away. But the brilliant impression is deceptive, at the latest when the visitor to the site realizes that they are in a huge military cemetery. Around 20,000 individual graves and a further 23,000 victims of war and tyranny buried in ossuaries are deeply disturbing.

Notre-Dame-de-Lorette is the largest cemetery in France, but also a location for remembrance and reflection, where the battles that took place on this hill in 1915 are commemorated. The location is near the town of Ablain-Saint-Nazaire; it consists of a basilica built in a neo-Byzantine style, a lantern tower 52 meters high and an immense military cemetery, the largest in France, where 40,058 bodies are buried. In 2014, a memorial ring was placed, bearing the names of almost 580,000 soldiers of different nationalities who lost their lives in Nord-Pas-de-Calais between 1914 and 1918. Two other buildings have been added to this site: the "living museum" 14-18, located on the Notre-Dame-de-Lorette hill, with more than 2,000 pieces in its collection, and the Historical Center of the Memorial 14-18 , in Souchez, a visitors center where objects, photos and film from that time are displayed.
