Beautifully situated at Foxycamp campsite. The campsite is simple but wonderfully peaceful (we were there in early September) and run by very friendly owners. Virtually no mobile phone reception also ensures peace and quiet.

This austere cemetery is the home of 203 French soldiers who died in the fighting around the Hauts de Meuse during WWI. Only 86 of them have been identified. Of particular note is the grave of Henri-Alban Fournier, better known as the writer Alain-Fournier, author of Le Grand Meaulnes. He disappeared in 1914 during a reconnaissance mission and was only found in 1991 in a mass grave in the nearby forest. He was reburied here in 1992, along with his comrades from the 288th Regiment.

At the heart of Les Éparges, you will find the Espace Maurice Genevoix, a memorial space dedicated to the writer-soldier who was seriously wounded here in 1915. His moving testimony Ceux de 14 gave a voice to the fallen of WWI. Right next to the building, a bronze bust of Genevoix, unveiled in 2015, underlines his enduring link with the place. Together, they form a powerful tribute to literature, memory and camaraderie.

National Trésauvaux Necropolis This military cemetery was created in 1915 and contains the remains of 2,960 French soldiers who died during the fierce fighting in the Hauts de Meuse during the First World War. Of these, 852 unknown soldiers are buried in an ossuary. The site also groups together bodies that were later transferred from isolated graves and temporary cemeteries around Les Éparges, Mouilly and Mesnil-sous-les-Côtes. On 30 October 1914, during the First World War, the front line was placed in the commune, attired by the 104th Infantry Regiment.

The monument was created in 1930 by the sculptor Duilio Donzelli, originally from Lacroix-sur-Meuse. Like many French villages after the Great War, Bonzée erected this monument to pay tribute to the local soldiers who gave their lives for France. The names of the fallen are listed on the monument, often with inscriptions such as "Mort pour la France" or "Tué à l'ennemi". What makes it extra special is that Bonzée is located in an area that was badly affected during the war, near the infamous ridge of Les Éparges. The monument is therefore not only a symbol of mourning, but also of the deep scars that the conflict has left in this region.

The Saint-Laurent church in Bonzée, originally from the 18th century, destroyed in 1914, rebuilt in 1927.

This monument, erected in 1924, is the oldest on the Crête des Éparges. Dedicated to the 12th French Infantry Division, it is topped with a stone cockerel – the symbol of France. It marks a site of fierce fighting in 1915, where thousands of soldiers lost their lives in the muddy trenches. A powerful symbol of national pride and remembrance.
