As a memorial to the many dead, such a “MONUMENT AUX MORTS” (usually called a “cenotaph” or “war memorial” in German-speaking countries) is still very important today. "Now you, O Lord, let your servant depart in peace, as you said..." says the so-called "Song of Simeon" (Gospel of Luke chapter 2, verse 29). However, the people who are remembered here did not die in peace, but rather became victims of war and tyranny. Many places and monuments that you encounter along the way are a testament to the horror of war and tyranny - which is still significant and relevant today. They all have, and this is new for each generation, two essential functions: -1- Commemorate and remember the victims -2- Call for the preservation of peace

Grandpré is a commune in the French department of Ardennes, in the Grand Est region. It has about 500 inhabitants and an area of 32.67 km². It is located on the River Aire and is part of the canton of Attigny. Grandpré has a rich history, dating back to the Middle Ages. It was an important city in Champagne, which became a county and later a duchy. It had a castle, an abbey and a fortified wall, testifying to its power and influence. One of the sights is the Église Saint-Médard, a Gothic church from the 13th century, decorated with stained glass windows and sculptures. Grandpré was also the scene of fierce fighting during the First World War. It was occupied by the Germans in 1914 and later liberated by the Americans in 1918. The village was largely destroyed by bombing and artillery. One of the monuments that commemorate this period is the Monument aux Morts, a memorial to the fallen soldiers, designed by the sculptor Paul Moreau-Vauthier. Grandpré is a quiet and charming place where you can enjoy nature and the rural atmosphere. You can walk, cycle, fish or taste the local gastronomy. One of the specialties is the boudin blanc, a white sausage made from pork, cream and spices.

La Main de Massiges is an exceptional place: It is a living archaeological site that you can visit and explore for free. It is also an extremely touching place of remarkable memory. These are German and French trench lines from the First World War. Excavations by archaeologists still take place, and bodies of soldiers from both countries are raised from the ground and returned to their families every year more than 100 years after their disappearance. By walking among these trenches you will relive the daily life of soldiers and their very difficult living conditions. The Suippes military camp happens to be very close, and shots of military training cannons echo in the silence of the place giving an even more poignant character to this extraordinary visit.
