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 granite memorial is part of a series of 118 monuments erected in the 1920s by artist and veteran Paul Moreau-Vauthier. They mark the exact front line of 18 July 1918, the start of the Allied counter-attack during the Second Battle of the Marne. The Haudiomont memorial recalls the fierce fighting in this region and is a tangible milestone on the route of remembrance of WWI.

Point X marks the eastern end of the Crête des Éparges, where fierce fighting took place between French and German troops in April 1915. It was captured by the 8th Infantry Regiment after heavy mine warfare and trench warfare. Today, a monument stands here in memory of the thousands of soldiers who fought and died here. The area is still marked by craters and trenches.
