Cemeteries and memorials to visit Craonne

Put yourself in a soldier's shoes, and relive, in nature, the offensive of the French army of 16 April 1917 in Picardy. But this time, without weapons. The aim was to pay tribute to the nearly 30 000 men who left their lives in the battle. Every year, on 16 April, the march of remembrance begins at 5 a. m. in Craonne. Carry a flashlight. A single memory exercise.
