At the center of the Chemin des Dames, the reconstructed village of Cerny-en-Laonnois is a major memorial center: the French cemetery is complemented by a huge German cemetery, two ossuaries, a memorial chapel, and a British monument. It was here that military and political authorities most often visited the Chemin des Dames after the war. A completely reconstructed site, it appears modest in comparison to the many events that made it one of the most disputed points of the Great War from 1914 to 1918. The memorial chapel, erected in 1951 and dedicated to reconciliation, is part of a complex that has included a lantern of the dead since 1960, intended to illuminate the "field of the dead" with a blue light.

From September 1914, Cerny was very close to the front line, remaining on the German side until May 1917, when it found itself at the heart of the fighting for the recapture of the Chemin des Dames. Completely destroyed, it was then moved one kilometer to the southwest by prefectural decision established according to the development project issued on July 8, 1924. The commune was rebuilt in a more modest way, as not all of the inhabitants had returned to the village. In 1920, Cerny-en-Laonnois was adopted by Puy-de-Dôme as part of the adoption of devastated communes by non-disaster regions
