Facing the sea, this magnificent monument to the dead inspires contemplation. A magnificent monument, it is one of the most imposing memorials in France. Built entirely from white stone, light transfigures this highly stylised building whose features include a huge open space, enormous urn and bas-reliefs punctuating the monument throughout. Should you get a bit closer, it is possible to read some 3655 names displayed in remembrance. The registration numbers of all these fallen soldiers have been placed in a reliquary inside the urn. A place to remember!
