The 'Barrès column' is a lantern of the dead dedicated to the writer Maurice Barrès. When designing this monument, the landscape architect Achille Duchêne was strongly inspired by a similar construction, the lantern of the dead by Fenioux in the South West of France.

The Barrès monument is a lantern-shaped monument dedicated to the writer Maurice Barrès, who praised the Hill of Sion in his novel La Colline Inspiration. The monument is located on the Vaudémont signal, the highest point of the hill and the Lorraine plateau, at 540 or 541 meters above sea level. The monument was inaugurated in 1928 and is the work of landscaper Achille Duchêne, who was strongly inspired by Fenioux's lantern of the dead. From the top of the monument, you enjoy a panoramic view of the surrounding countryside and the villages of Sion and Vaudémont.

The tower is the vestige of the seat of the counts of Vaudémont. The height of their reign was between 1071 and 1472. Now in ruins, it is preserved for the future.

Monument in the form of a lantern of the dead inaugurated in 1928 in honor of Maurice Barrès (1862-1923), writer and figurehead of French nationalism, originally from Charmes, who in 1913 published the novel "La Colline inspired". Beautiful view of the surroundings, in particular the Vosges, but also to the Alps on certain days.
