The artist was inspired by the famous phrase of the supreme and truly Cornelian call: "Arise, the dead!" ". This call is proclaimed by a grenadier with a greatcoat half torn by the explosions; he steps over a gabion and prepares to launch the deadly projectile towards the enemy: the poilu is alive and the stone seems alive. Despite the difficulties in the execution, the artist fortunately managed to avoid any heaviness, he was able to give the stone all the desired and possible flexibility. Ardres was kind enough, in keeping with the erection of this magnificent monument, to honour the memory of the 82 heroes and their children who died gloriously during the Great War.

This bastion is the only remnant of the fortification system of the town built in the mid-16th century, but interesting as an example of Renaissance fortifications

The Église Notre-Dame de Graces is a church in Ardres, France. It was founded in the 11th century and is dedicated to Saint-Omer and Notre-Dame de Grâce. The building is in flamboyant style and is made of limestone on a cruciform plan. The tower rising from the crossing of the transept is topped with a slate spire. The interior of the church contains an exceptional series of stained glass windows from the 19th century, as well as a statue of Notre-Dame des Grâces from the 13th century and a statue of Sainte Apolline from the 17th century. The address of the church is 56 Rue de l'Arsenal, 62610 Ardres, France.

Between 1522 and 1541, François I reinforced the stronghold of Ardres with six bastions attached to the medieval wall. The work was entrusted to the Italian architect Dominique de Cortona, known as Boccador. Razed after 1849, all that remains of these fortifications is the Condette bastion, the conservation of which is due to the development of a public garden. It is a bastion whose salient forms an angle of 70 meters in length on the face and 30 meters in length on the side, comprising three high brick vaulted galleries, serving the access stairs to the lower defenses. The countermine gallery bypasses the main orillons by serving four firing positions, each pierced with three divergent firing slots for multidirectional fire for long guns. Above, a ventilation rises to the surface of the bastion to allow the smoke from the shots to escape. Presence in the sides of a casemate for heavy artillery, with two French embrasures, covered with a brick vault resting on a central pillar with three vents. This bastion is intended to be a transitional work between fortification by artillery towers and fortification by bastions.

Le Grand Hebdomadaire, n°44, Sunday October 30, 1921, p. 370.: Ardres has also just erected a war memorial, the work of the sculptor Greber. The artist was inspired by the famous phrase of the supreme and truly Cornelian call: “Arise, the dead!” ". This call is proclaimed by a grenadier with a greatcoat half torn by the explosions; he steps over a gabion and prepares to launch the deadly projectile facing the enemy: the poilu is alive and the stone seems animated. Despite the difficulties of execution, the artist fortunately managed to avoid any heaviness, he was able to give the stone all the desired and possible flexibility. Ardres was kind enough to honor, as appropriate by the erection of this beautiful monument, the memory of the 82 heroes, its children, who fell gloriously during the great war.

Small forest that invites you to take a walk.

A beautiful lake on the edge of Ardres.
