Located in front of the necropolis is the Chemin des Dames Memorial. In the Chapel are a large number of commemorative stone tablets remembering the drama that the combatants and their families lived. In front of the chapel you can find the Lanterne des Morts (The dead Lantern), whose fires represent battlefields of the Great War in the night.
