This ossuary, which has the status of a national necropolis, houses the remains of approximately 10,000 soldiers who fell during the Battle of Argonne. The imposing monument found there was created by the sculptor Raoul Eugène Lamourdedieu.

On September 29, 1918, the village of Séchault was liberated by the 369th Infantry Regiment of the U.S. Army – better known as the Harlem Hellfighters. This African-American unit fought bravely on the Western Front and made history through their dedication and sacrifice. Today, a memorial in the village commemorates this event. It is a quiet place, but with deep historical significance. Ideal for a short stop during your drive along the front line of 14-18.

During the opening stages of the First World War, Manre was at the heart of the Battle of the Frontiers (August 1914), a series of bloody confrontations between French and German troops in the Ardennes. The region was severely affected by artillery fire and troop movements. Close to the front line, Manre experienced evacuations, destruction and military occupation. Today, it is a silent witness to the chaos of 1914, with traces of trenches and monuments in the area that recall the fierce fighting.

The Église Saint-Martin in Manre was rebuilt in the early 20th century, probably after the devastation of the First World War. The church is notable for its slender, neo-Gothic tower, which rises like a vertical marker above the open landscape of the Champagne-Ardennes. The architecture reflects the reconstruction style of the region, with its sober lines and understated elegance. Today, the tower serves as a visual beacon for those following the former front line.

La Main de Massiges is an exceptional place: It is a living archaeological site that you can visit and explore for free. It is also an extremely touching place of remarkable memory. These are German and French trench lines from the First World War. Excavations by archaeologists still take place, and bodies of soldiers from both countries are raised from the ground and returned to their families every year more than 100 years after their disappearance. By walking among these trenches you will relive the daily life of soldiers and their very difficult living conditions. The Suippes military camp happens to be very close, and shots of military training cannons echo in the silence of the place giving an even more poignant character to this extraordinary visit.
