여기 Sainte-Menehould뿐만 아니라 프랑스 전역에서 항상 „Notre-Dame“(독일어로 „Unserer Lieben Frau“에 해당)라는 칭호로 숭배받는 하느님의 어머니 마리아의 도움에 대한 독실한 믿음은 프랑스의 수녀, 신비주의자, 교회 박사인 리지외의 성녀 테레사(수도회 이름 예수와 성스러운 얼굴의 테레사, 1873-1897)가 다음과 같이 표현했습니다: „시련이나 어려움이 있을 때, 저는 마리아 어머니께 의지합니다. 그분의 눈빛만으로도 모든 두려움을 떨쳐버릴 수 있습니다.“

The Nécropole Nationale de la Forestière in Lachalade is a military cemetery that keeps alive the memory of the soldiers who died in the First World War. This serene memorial was created in 1915 and later expanded to collect the remains of soldiers who fought in the Argonne region between 1914 and 1918. Today, 2,005 soldiers rest there, and the cemetery is famous for its blue, pink and white hydrangeas, planted by the Comtesse de Martimprey in tribute to her missing husband. The site has been classified as a World Heritage Site since September 2023, and nearby is a monument to the Italian volunteers who fought in the Argonne, including the grandsons of Giuseppe Garibaldi

Ravin du Génie: Located in the woods of Lachalade, less than 1.2 km from the front line, this ravine was an important logistical camp for the French engineers during WWI. Soldiers found rest there, and equipment was stored for mine warfare in the Argonne. Today it is an open-air museum with the remains of barracks, warehouses and trenches – a tangible reminder of daily life behind the front. Free access with information panels.
