This stone statue of Napoleon I, sculpted by Georges THUROTTE, commemorates the victory of the French armies at Craonne against the Russian and Prussian armies of General Blücher on March 7, 1814, which left 12,000 dead (7,000 French and 5,000 Russians, whose mass graves were scattered during the fighting of the First World War. Placed high on a mound and built on the former site of the Moulin de Vauclerc, which served as an observatory for the emperor, the limestone statue represents the Emperor scanning the horizon in a dignified position.

This large German war cemetery is located near the Fort de La Malmaison, along the Chemin des Dames. It was created in 1941 by the Wehrmacht to centralise scattered graves from the Aisne region. After the war, the site was officially recognised by a Franco-German convention in 1954 and inaugurated in 1965. It is the resting place of almost 11,850 German soldiers, mainly those who died during the 1940 campaign and the fighting following the Allied landings in Normandy in 1944. Between 1960 and 1961, more than 6,800 bodies were reburied from six surrounding departments. The cemetery is sober and serene, with rows of dark crosses and a memorial stone. It is a silent reminder of the fierce fighting in this region and is an important stop on the remembrance routes along the Chemin des Dames.
