excellent journey

The church of Saint-Martin-aux-Bois stands on the site of the former abbey on which it depended, which no longer exists. Only a few vestiges remain, including the Galata, a former hostelry that has become private property. From the rampart walk, the outline of the enclosure and the location of the monastic buildings can still be seen, while the apse of the church has recently undergone major restoration work.

Created in 1919, the Méry-la-Bataille national necropolis contains the remains of 1,538 soldiers who died for France during the Battle of Matz in June 1918. Adjacent to the municipal cemetery, it brings together the bodies exhumed from various temporary cemeteries in the Oise, of which 1,286 are buried in individual graves and 254 in two ossuaries. This memorial pays tribute to the soldiers who fell during one of the decisive offensives of the First World War, which helped halt the German advance towards Paris.

The Église Saint-Jean-Baptiste in Plessis-de-Roye is an exceptional example of reconstruction architecture with a deeply symbolic meaning. Originally built in the first half of the 15th century, the church was almost completely destroyed during the First World War. It was rebuilt between 1930 and 1932 by the architect André Collin, who deliberately chose to leave the nave unfinished. This gave the church the character of a small cloister — a powerful symbol of loss and remembrance of the devastation of war.

good journey

Please note that the St Martin quarries are closed to the public, even though they are located on a hiking trail. The new owner has recently installed cameras for ticketing purposes...

You made me want to take a trip there soon. Thanks Leo
