NÉCROPOLE NATIONALE DE FLOING

The Floing national necropolis, created in 1960, houses 2,237 bodies of victims of the two world wars, exhumed from communal cemeteries in the Ardennes. It is home to 333 French soldiers from 1914-1918 and 1,957 French servicemen from 1939-1945, including resistance fighters and foreigners. The necropolis pays tribute to resistance fighters who were shot, such as Émile Paris and Alphonse Masier, and to combatants such as Robert Rouyer, lieutenant in the Pacific Marine Infantry Regiment.
