"The Badonviller National Necropolis is a military cemetery that keeps alive the memory of the fierce fighting in the Vosges during the First World War. This necropolis was built between 1920 and 1935 to regroup the bodies of French soldiers who died in the Vosges and Haute-Alsace sectors. A total of 2,653 soldiers are buried here, 1,444 in individual graves and 1,209 in two ossuaries. 28 French soldiers from the Second World War also found their final resting place here. At the centre of the site is a monument in honour of the 363rd Infantry Regiment, designed by sculptor Antoine Sartorio. This monument originally stood on the Col de la Chapelotte, a strategic point where fierce fighting took place between 1915 and 1917. The necropolis is not only a place of rest, but also of remembrance of the devastation which struck Badonviller, including the plundering by Bavarian troops on 12 August 1914.

"The Église Saint-Martin in Badonviller is a rare example of religious architecture in the Louis XVI style (1788). Although it is of Romanesque origin, its elegant façade is particularly striking, which is one of the few remaining examples of this style in the Lorraine region. Together with the Chapel of the Visitation in Nancy, this church forms a unique duo. The church was badly damaged during the First World War and partially rebuilt afterwards.

There was a folk festival here

A place of meditation. If you are emotional, pausing to spend a few moments here is a moving experience. The commemoration of the soldiers who died in the Vosges until 1939 is commemorated here.

The original church building in the Louis XVI style. was described as Little Saint Peter in Rome. The royal chief engineer François-Michel Lecreulx (1734–1812) built the building in 1787/88. Nine days after the outbreak of the First World War, on August 12, 1914, the church building burned down completely during the fighting. Reconstruction began as early as 1921. St. Martin soon had all four bells back with its remarkable round bell tower. The most powerful bell named Edith weighs 2150 kg. Its chime is reminiscent of Big Ben in London. Its organ is the work of Ernest Jacquot, an organ builder from Rambervillers. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Badonviller Unfortunately, the church is mostly locked. The cemetery is above the church. Next to the church there are some rest areas and the square with its monument to the Resistance. From the edge of the square you have a view of the village. An impressive place. The mighty bells remind you of the passage of time every quarter of an hour.

The soldiers who died in the Vosges up to 1939 and who died defending France are commemorated here. The very well-kept place with its many crosses makes you think.

Very nice climb on a road with little traffic, followed by a descent to Val et Chatillon.

Sadly rather faded and shabby, Baccarat. The nature in the area is beautiful for walking and cycling. Round Baccarat route (about 50 km) was easy to do on the e-bike with Komoot. Quite a few bits on roads with cars, but it was not very busy.
