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.

The Lost Battalion Memorial is located in the Charlevaux Ravine near Binarville, on the D66, and commemorates the heroic struggle of some 554 American soldiers of the 77th Infantry Division who were surrounded by German troops during the Meuse-Argonne Offensive in October 1918. Led by Major Charles Whittlesey, these men held out for six days, cut off from supplies and communications, with only carrier pigeons as a means of contact. The most famous of these, Cher Ami, saved the battalion by delivering a crucial message despite being wounded, which stopped friendly fire.

Just outside Binarville, at the crossroads of the D21 and D66, the Monument "Aux Morts du 9e Régiment de Cuirassiers" commemorates the courage of the French cavalrymen who fell in 1918 during the fierce fighting in the Argonne. Once proudly mounted on horseback, these cuirassiers fought on foot in the dense forests surrounding the village, leaving a lasting legacy of bravery and sacrifice. This silent, powerful memorial is an unexpected stopover full of history in the heart of the countryside. 🪖🌲

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.

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.
