Tips from the Community
🔭 **Observatoire de l’Étang d’Amel – Nature Observation at the Pond** At the Étang d’Amel, there is a wooden observation post from which wildlife can be observed undisturbed. Waterfowl such as herons, ducks, and geese are particularly easy to spot here – depending on the season, even with their young. 🌾 The platform is sheltered from the wind, offers information panels about the regional fauna, and is idyllically situated among reeds, trees, and riparian grass. **Tip:** Bring binoculars! The chances of spotting birds are particularly good in the early morning or late afternoon. Ideal for nature lovers and families.

The monument was created in 1930 by the sculptor Duilio Donzelli, originally from Lacroix-sur-Meuse. Like many French villages after the Great War, Bonzée erected this monument to pay tribute to the local soldiers who gave their lives for France. The names of the fallen are listed on the monument, often with inscriptions such as "Mort pour la France" or "Tué à l'ennemi". What makes it extra special is that Bonzée is located in an area that was badly affected during the war, near the infamous ridge of Les Éparges. The monument is therefore not only a symbol of mourning, but also of the deep scars that the conflict has left in this region.
