💧 Plan d'Eau de la Sangsue – Small Natural Lake Tucked away in the countryside lies the Plan d'Eau de la Sangsue, a small natural lake with wild shoreline vegetation, calm waters, and a natural charm. While its name ("Leech Pond") is unusual, the body of water is a peaceful spot for walkers, nature lovers, and birdwatchers. 🌿 Surrounded by forest and meadows, the pond is a refuge for amphibians, insects, and waterfowl. A narrow path leads along the shore – ideal for a quiet break in nature. Tip: Particularly beautiful in spring or when there is light fog – then the pond appears almost mystical. Perfect for a quiet rest off the beaten track.

The monument was created in 1930 by the sculptor Duilio Donzelli, originally from Lacroix-sur-Meuse. Like many French villages after the Great War, Bonzée erected this monument to pay tribute to the local soldiers who gave their lives for France. The names of the fallen are listed on the monument, often with inscriptions such as "Mort pour la France" or "Tué à l'ennemi". What makes it extra special is that Bonzée is located in an area that was badly affected during the war, near the infamous ridge of Les Éparges. The monument is therefore not only a symbol of mourning, but also of the deep scars that the conflict has left in this region.

This serene military cemetery was founded in 1915 and is the home of 2,960 French soldiers who fell during the bloody battles around the Crête des Éparges. Among them was Robert Porchon, friend of the writer Maurice Genevoix. The necropolis is located in the Hadimel ravine, at the foot of the ridge, and contains an ossuary with 852 unknown soldiers. A silent witness to the hell of trench warfare.
