Pont suspendu / Passerelle des Anglais, On this spot, the British army built a temporary wooden bridge in 1915 after the destruction of the original bridge by the Germans. The current elegant pedestrian bridge from 2016 is a reminder of this “pont des Anglais” and is part of a project to revitalise the banks of the Aisne. It offers a panoramic view of the river and the nearby memorial to British soldiers.

Built in 1929 by the Marquis de Croix, owner of the land, this monument symbolises the suffering of all the soldiers who fought on the Confrécourt plateau during the First World War. The monument is in the shape of a broken cross, reminiscent of the many postcards showing crucifixes or Christs who miraculously survived the bombardments of the war. The monument is located near a stone marker that marks the furthest advance of the German troops during their offensives in 1918. You can also see the new Confrécourt farm, rebuilt after the war on the site where the French front lines were located.
