Another weekend, another day out!
Great views, and a lot of WWI history: Monstec US monument (and a panorama from the top), Flirey church that was destroyed in 1915 (as the whole village actually, completely wiped out)
1/2
Also a German trench (left) vs a (rebuilt) French one (right) at Le Bois brûlé (The burnt woods)
Germans used concrete because they wanted to fortify their territorial gains. France went with more temporary construction because for them, the German gains wouldn’t last.
2/2
