The Grand church is worth a stop. It offers a curious contrast between the massive tower of its facade and its delicate bell tower.

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

Dun-sur-Meuse is a French commune in the Meuse department, in the Lorraine region. During the First World War, the upper city was largely destroyed. This bridge over the Meuse is one of the most beautiful monuments of this type in France. There are bronze balustrades on both sides of the bridge, with designs in the center and engraved plaques. It reminds French citizens and others, who will cross the bridge for years to come, of the passage of the Meuse. The crossing of the Meuse by the 5th Division was commanded by General John Pershing.

In this bend, beavers (rats) have made a large dam in the Aire. You can always see them walking around here.
