Monument de la Pierre d'Haudroy, War memorial in La Flamengrie, France

The Monument de la Pierre d'Haudroy stands at the intersection of road D285 between La Capelle and Haudroy, constructed from Vosges granite.

On November 7, 1918, at 8:20 PM, German plenipotentiaries arrived at this location to negotiate the armistice of World War I.

Each year until 1948, Corporal-bugler Pierre Sellier performed the cease-fire signal at this monument to commemorate the historic moment.

The monument features informational panels explaining its significance and remains accessible throughout the year via the D285 road connecting Wignehies to La Capelle.

The central stone used in the 1948 reconstruction came from Ravensbrück, Germany, brought back by Ernest Gernez after the monument's destruction in 1940.
