1914년, 농촌 마을 Ailles는 약 340헥타르에 걸쳐 있었으며, 그중 1/3은 숲이었습니다. 61채의 집이 Saint-Martin 교회 주변에 모여 있었습니다. 인구는 감소했습니다. 1901년 인구 조사에서는 147명이었지만, 1911년에는 118명에 불과했습니다. Craonne 전투를 기념하기 위해 1814년 3월 7일에 멋진 느릅나무가 심어졌습니다. 1세기 후, 프랑스와 독일의 포탄이 마을을 지도에서 지워버렸을 때, 이 나무는 새로운 전장의 증인이 되었습니다...

A masterpiece among the churches of the Reconstruction period, visitors will be captivated by the frescoes, mosaics, stained-glass windows and superb bell tower supported by angels. Built between 1928 and 1932 under the direction of architect Paul-Albert Müller, the church is both modern and back to basics.

During the First World War, Cerny-en-Laonnois was a strategic point along the Chemin des Dames, a ridge fiercely contested by French and German troops. In September 1914, the village was taken by the Germans, who used it as a defensive post. They dug deep underground networks in the limestone, which served as shelters and munitions stores. In the spring of 1917, the area became the scene of the Nivelle Offensive, a large-scale French attack that resulted in heavy losses and eventually led to mutinies within the French army. Cerny-en-Laonnois was completely destroyed by artillery fire and fighting. After the war, the village was rebuilt a little further south. Today, the military cemeteries, the memorial chapel and the “Lanterne des Morts” bear witness to the immense human suffering that took place here.
