6의 보쿠르 앙 상테르가지 명소 & 주요 장소

2015년 국민 추모일 연설에서 당시 연방 대통령 요아힘 가우크는 제가 이 군인 묘지 방문객들에게 고려해 보라고 제안하고 싶은 몇 가지 생각을 표현했습니다: + "이것은... 우리 모두의 희망입니다. 전쟁의 고통에 대한 기억이 복수를 낳는 것이 아니라, 점점 더 많은 사람들과 국가들이 민족 간의 평화로운 공존에서 출구를 찾도록 하는 것입니다. 유럽 통합을 우리 대륙의 위대한 평화 프로젝트로 만드는 데 성공했던 것처럼 말입니다. (...) 알베르트 슈바이처가 한때 말했듯이, 군인 묘지가 마침내 위대한 평화의 설교자가 되기를 바랍니다. 그러면 우리는 경험했듯이, 무덤 위에서의 화해가 가능해질 것입니다. 그러면 평화는 지속될 수 있습니다. 이를 위해 우리는 공동의 책임을 집니다."

Villers-Bretonneux military cemetery; this cemetery contains the graves of Commonwealth soldiers, sailors and airmen: 1089 British soldiers, 779 Australians, 267 Canadians, 2 New Zealanders and 4 South Africans

The name Trois-Rivières refers to the three rivers that flow through the new commune: the Avre, the Cologne, and the Trois Doms. A beautiful panorama 👍.

As a memorial to the endless number of war dead, such a “Cimetiere militaire” – in German they are usually referred to as a “war cemetery” or “soldiers' cemetery” – is still very important today. “Now you, Lord, let your servant depart in peace, as you said...” it says in the so-called “Song of Simeon” (Gospel of Luke chapter 2, verse 29). However, the many people buried here by no means died in peace, but rather became victims of war and an inhumane tyranny. The most important and at the same time enduring function of military or honorary cemeteries or war cemeteries is to keep the memory of this suffering alive and - every generation anew (!) - to remind us of the lasting preservation of peace.

Small path along the water, really very pretty! The path is very narrow, sometimes deep holes in the ground or trees lying on the path! A large part of the path is in the shade (appreciable for a mountain bike ride or on foot)

A nice path between Ignaucourt and Démuin, rather easy to ride even if it is sometimes narrow with dense vegetation, sometimes muddy. But nothing technical and quite flat.

This must-see offers us a view of the Cross of Sacrifice which adorns all of the Commonwealth's cemeteries.

A place of remembrance of the Great War. If you climb to the top of the tower you will have the right to panorama of the surroundings.
