Tevens stands at the church's image: The Cross of the Hunters of Briant Cross of the Hunters of Driant in Vacherauville (Meuse) after the First World War. At the end of 1915, the monument in the form of a statue of France, sword in hand, imploring the heavens for victory was erected, but destroyed by the Germans in February 1916. At the end of the conflict, the former hunters erected a new, identical statue, but this time with the sword in its sheath, as shown on the Bleujonquille website.

Notice how the water level of the canal is higher than the water level of the Meuse.

The church of Vacherauville was rebuilt after the destruction of the Battle of Verdun (1916) and is an example of sober reconstruction architecture. Inside is the “Vitrail du souvenir”, a commemorative stained glass window in honour of Lieutenant-Colonel Émile Driant, who died at the Bois des Caures. The window, designed by Jean-François Aute, shows Driant at the head of his battalions and was donated by veterans of the 56th and 59th Chasseurs à Pied.

The first church of Saint-Martin in Vacherauville was built in the 16th century. The house of worship was damaged by the Great War and was rebuilt. In 1930, the house was accessible again.

At this location on the waterfront of the Maas Canal you have a beautiful view of the village of Champneuville with its special church tower without a spire.

Perfect stop along the waterfront. The peaceful view will always make you decide to hit the pause button here.

The church of Samogneux was completely destroyed on 21 February 1916 during the Battle of Verdun. In 1930, it was decided to rebuild it, in the middle of the village, opposite the town hall. The reconstruction was made possible by a generous American donor, Mrs Horace GRAY. The latter was very moved by the book by the writer Henri FREMONT, in which he describes the life of refugees from the Meuse during the First World War. This work was translated and marketed in the United States. The funds raised made it possible to rebuild the church. The building is located near the newly created green route along the Meuse Canal, along the battlefields of the First World War and Verdun. The church contains paintings by Lucien Lantier, a famous reconstruction artist who worked in several rebuilt churches on the battlefield. There is also a bronze statue in tribute to chaplain Mathews Cleveland. The story of this building has a rich history.

Centrally located on the village square you can get refreshment at the water source. Enjoy the peace in this small community of only 300 inhabitants.
