• The Argonne is the country of memory tourism par excellence, the site of many battles as evidenced by the cemeteries along the road. - From Sainte Ménehould, particularly dynamic one continues on Florent in Argonne, a former village of coopers, with its wood-paneled houses and church surrounded by lime trees. The Biesmes valley by the Claon (a picturesque village and visit to the S selisse workshop, old-fashioned mulch and vegetable crafts) and Lachalade (vestiges of the cloister of the old abbey, cemetery and Garibaldi monument) is really typical. - Towards The Harazée, the crossroads known as "The Four of Paris" is in fact an ancient village completely destroyed during the Great War, an old residence of glass masters. Another military cemetery in Harazée. In Vienna, the Chateau, experience a historical tour in the footsteps of the First World War. A German third-line camp can be visited.
