Vic-sur-Aisne Military Cemetery

Highlight • Historical Site

The National Military Cemetery of Vic-sur-Aisne, created in 1921, is an impressive necropolis containing the remains of 3,046 French soldiers, mainly killed during the Battles of the Aisne in World War I. Of these, 932 are buried in two ossuaries, and seven others died during World War II. Among the thousands of French soldiers is Ma Yi Pao, a young Chinese legionnaire who died of wounds on September 2, 1918, at the age of 24. He was one of the few Chinese to actually serve as a soldier in the French Foreign Legion, while most of his compatriots were employed as laborers. His grave (plot F, grave 59) is unique: he is the only officially recognized Chinese soldier to have died for France in this war.

Saint-Sulpice Church, Pierrefonds

Highlight • Historical Site

Pierrefonds impresses with its magnificent castle. But it would be a shame to miss his parish church. The Romanesque crypt and the very refined Renaissance bell tower make Saint-Sulpice a remarkable building in the Oise. Founded in the eleventh century by Nivelon I, Lord of Pierrefonds, the church has been altered over the centuries.
