The church dedicated to the Mother of God under the title "Notre-Dame de Lorette" rises in brilliant white and is visible from far away. But the brilliant impression is deceptive, at the latest when the visitor to the site realizes that they are in a huge military cemetery. Around 20,000 individual graves and a further 23,000 victims of war and tyranny buried in ossuaries are deeply disturbing.

Lined with vegetation, this canal offers a bucolic setting where it is pleasant to ride a bike, along the shaded banks. The reflections of the trees in the calm water create a serene atmosphere, ideal for recharging your batteries.
