The Monument aux Morts of Épinonville is a memorial erected around 1924, in memory of the inhabitants of the village who died during the wars. The monument bears the names of fourteen soldiers from the First World War and one from the Second World War. The statue shows a "Poilu" – a French infantryman – in the characteristic blue-grey uniform, a common symbol on French war memorials. The monument is also the focal point for commemorations, such as the annual ceremony on 11 November, to mark the Armistice of 1918.

This bell tower, also called the "Tour Louis XVI", marks a key historical moment: it was here that King Louis XVI was arrested on 21 June 1791 during his failed attempt to escape from revolutionary France. Built in 1793 on the site of the choir of the old Saint-Gengoult church, the tower has been listed as a historical monument since 1989. A silent witness to a turning point in French history.

This little road is wonderfully quiet, a much better option than the D946 which runs parallel to it.

Apremont is a small, rural village in the French Ardennes, situated on the river Aire. The village centre consists of a handful of houses, a modest town hall and a church, surrounded by forests and rolling fields. The atmosphere is quiet and subdued – a place where time seems to stand still.

At this location, deep in the Argonne Forest, a unit of the American 77th Division was surrounded by German troops on October 2, 1918. For five days, the so-called Lost Battalion held out under difficult conditions, cut off from supplies and communications. Only a third of the soldiers survived.

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.
