Soldier of the Law Memorial

Highlight • Other

This monument depicts a recumbent French soldier and is dedicated to André Thomé, a member of parliament who volunteered for the front and was killed at Verdun on 10 March 1916. Although exempted from service as a politician, he chose to fight. The sculpture, by Alexandre Descatoire, is entitled Le Soldat du Droit – the soldier of the right – and symbolises the sacrifice of just men for a higher ideal.

Boyau de Londres

Highlight • Other

Back in time through the trenches named after London.

Historical context: After the recapture of the forts of Vaux and Douaumont, the French command set up the essential connections to supply the new French positions. The London Trench connected the hills of Belleville with the fort and the destroyed village.
To prevent landslides caused by bombardments, the sides of the tunnel were reinforced with a skeleton of reinforced concrete or cement slabs.
