A meeting place for walkers, cyclists, fishermen and hikers in the middle of an animal park in a wooded setting of several hectares... Not to be missed at any cost 🤩

Very beautiful natural park, with numerous hiking and cycling trails

Great garden, worth visiting even in the "non-blooming months".

As a memorial to the many dead, such a “MONUMENT AUX MORTS” (usually called a “monument” or “war memorial” in German-speaking countries) is still very important today. “Now you, O Lord, are letting your servant depart in peace, as you said…” says the so-called “Song of Simeon” (Gospel of Luke chapter 2, verse 29). However, the people who are remembered here did not die in peace, but rather became victims of war and tyranny. This is why the term “Fallen Monument” is now sometimes used instead of the “war memorial” that was previously common in German. In the French-speaking world, however, this aspect of commemorating the dead has long been included through the commonly used term "MONUMENT AUX MORTS". Regardless of language and nation, such a monument has two important and at the same time eternal tasks: -1- To keep the memory of the suffering and horror of the war alive, -2- and to call for the lasting preservation of peace.
