Beautifully situated at Foxycamp campsite. The campsite is simple but wonderfully peaceful (we were there in early September) and run by very friendly owners. Virtually no mobile phone reception also ensures peace and quiet.

The monument was created in 1930 by the sculptor Duilio Donzelli, originally from Lacroix-sur-Meuse. Like many French villages after the Great War, Bonzée erected this monument to pay tribute to the local soldiers who gave their lives for France. The names of the fallen are listed on the monument, often with inscriptions such as "Mort pour la France" or "Tué à l'ennemi". What makes it extra special is that Bonzée is located in an area that was badly affected during the war, near the infamous ridge of Les Éparges. The monument is therefore not only a symbol of mourning, but also of the deep scars that the conflict has left in this region.

The Saint-Laurent church in Bonzée, originally from the 18th century, destroyed in 1914, rebuilt in 1927.

In 1967, this granite monument was erected in honour of the sappers of the French army who played a key role in the mine warfare around Les Éparges. The seven columns symbolise the specialisations of the Génie: from sapeurs-mineurs to aérostiers. The monument commemorates their courage and technical ingenuity during one of the toughest fronts of WWI.

A lot of fighting in Verdun, you see that in every village. Every center has a statue with a memory from that time.

Very well maintained German cemetery high up in the village.

The Etangs du Longeau are a natural site offering many paths around the ponds, where you can enjoy the view of the water, the forest and the fauna.

In the ridge of Les Esparges, heavy fighting took place between the Germans and the French in the period 1915-1918. The location was of strategic importance at an altitude of 1400m.
