Tips from the Community
The observation tower, inaugurated on April 16, 2013, overlooks the Plateau de Californie, a strategic site of the battles of the Chemin des Dames. The 20-meter-high, freely accessible tower offers a historical insight into the landscape and recalls the importance of the heights during the war. It also offers visitors who climb it an unparalleled view of the village of Craonne below, but also of the Chemin des Dames and the Champagne plain... The observation tower is topped with a blue beacon that is activated at night, thus forming a monument in the landscape. During the day, it allows one to survey the plain of Reims, while at night, conversely, it is visible from this plain. The structure of the tower consists of a spatially modular wooden Mikado, whose arrangement has been chosen according to the configuration of the terrain and the orientation of the viewpoints. The dimensions of the steps and handrails facilitate the climb and mitigate the feeling of vertigo that may arise. For this structure built amidst trees, wood was the obvious material. Renewable materials were selected: glued laminated timber from pine for the long supports, posts and beams from larch, larch wood for the steps, and tropical woods (Massaranduba, Cumaru, Ipé, Doussié…) for the platforms and railings. These woods, originating from French Guiana, are certified and their extraction is controlled. Source and further information: https://www.chemindesdames.fr/

Originally, the place invaded by marshes was called Courmanblain , and Saint Bernard installed a first group of Cistercian monks there in 1134, responsible for clearing this space and building the abbey there. Nowadays, it is the remains of the building that you will discover, because due to its proximity to the Chemin des Dames , the abbey suffered very heavy damage during the Nivelle offensive during the First World War .
