Chemin de la Memoire

Chemin de la Memoire was opened in 1993 to commemorate the bicentenary of the start of the wars, it lies at the foot of a small hill which is topped by the chapel of Petit-Lucs. The path that leads up to the memorial has panels of some of the main figures involved, on the left side in French and on the right in English. A wooden bridge spans a moat leading into the state of the art memorial. Inside it is has a somber yet peaceful atmosphere with the sound of running water and low lighting.
Set in a peaceful meadow besides the river Boulogne this is a very moving memorial to those who fought and the inocent that were massacred.
