Where the village of Moronvilliers once stood, there is now a vast military training area. Managed by the French army, the site covers over 1,500 hectares and is used for target practice and military training. Despite its strategic function, it is also a protected Natura 2000 area, where rare calcareous grasslands (savarts) and chalk quarries are home to exceptional flora and fauna. Nature and military use exist here in a fragile balance – a landscape shaped by war, but today managed with an eye for ecology and heritage

Moronvilliers was a village in the Marne that was completely destroyed during the First World War. It was located in the zone rouge, an area that was so badly damaged by the fighting that reconstruction was considered impossible. After the war, the village was not rebuilt and today it is part of the Moronvilliers military training area. Its name lives on in Pontfaverger-Moronvilliers, and like other "destroyed villages", only a few traces remain as silent witnesses to the devastating battle.

In the heart of the lost village of Nauroy stands an impressive statue: Le Poilu du Cornillet. Created by artist Jean-François Guillaume, this metal soldier is made up of shrapnel from grenades – deadly fragments that once ravaged the landscape. The work embodies the French infantryman (“poilu”) and symbolises the sacrifices of the soldiers who fought and died here during the Battle of Mont Cornillet in 1917. Together with the nearby cenotaph for two French pilots, it is a powerful tribute to memory and the hope for peace

During the First World War, Beine-Nauroy was severely affected by the fighting on the Western Front. The nearby village of Nauroy was completely destroyed by bombardments and was not rebuilt after the war. In 1950, the name of Nauroy was officially added to Beine, creating the municipality of Beine-Nauroy. The region was a strategic point in the battle between French and German troops, with fierce fighting around Mont Cornillet, an important defensive position. Today, a war chapel and a monument made of shrapnel recall the destruction and loss that the war brought. The church is from the 12th/13th century.

Lane designed for bicycles and pedestrians. Perfectly suited for walking on Sundays and sunny days, a short stretch is through a lush forest crossed by the Suippe river. Ideal for walking children and pets. However, if you are a professional cyclist, this route is blocked by anti-2 and 4 motorized wheel barriers, at several crossings, which can break your average.
