Just a stone’s throw from our route (about 200 m) you will find a very unusual mausoleum. It is said that the spirits of the Sonian Forest have been summoned to the site of the Foresters’ Monument, a circle of stone monoliths which commemorates the death of 11 foresters during the 1914-1918 war. Richard Viandier, a painter with a passion for the Sonian Forest, worked with the Water and Forest Administration and created several artworks and exhibitions on its behalf. Here he was inspired by the funeral rites of the Celtic tradition, and the ensemble takes the traditional form of a ‘Cromlech’. Around this memorial, which was inaugurated on 30 May 1920, you will experience a unique, striking atmosphere.
