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.

In the heart of the village of Vic-sur-Aisne, surrounded by a leafy park and overlooking the Aisne valley, lies the imposing Château de Vic-sur-Aisne. What today appears to be an elegant country house, bears in its walls the traces of a turbulent past. Originally built on the foundations of a medieval castrum, the estate grew in the 17th century into a stately castle, with symmetrical facades, round towers and an impressive thirteen-metre high keep — a remnant from the 13th century. The architecture reflects the transition from defensive structure to residential comfort: robust, but refined. The gardens, partly in French style with straight lines and box hedges, partly in English landscape style with winding paths and romantic corners, invite you to stroll and contemplate.

Located along the Chemin des Dames, this monument commemorates the Régiment d’Infanterie Coloniale du Maroc, which fought heavily in the region during the Battle of La Malmaison in October 1917. It honours the commitment and sacrifice of Moroccan troops within the French army during WWI 1.
