Monument de la Voie sacrée

The Monument de la Voie Sacrée is a war memorial in Nixéville-Blercourt that marks the historic supply route through the area. It features stone construction with military elements that punctuate the landscape at regular intervals along the road.

The memorial was built in the 1920s and marks a road that was crucial during a major war. This route served as the sole supply line for military forces during one of the most intense battles of the conflict.

The memorial stands along a historic supply route and honors the logistical efforts that sustained military forces during a major conflict. The stones with military emblems placed at regular intervals reflect how this road was valued as a lifeline by the army.

The site is reachable via the D1916 road that runs through the valley and is easily accessible by regular transportation. The area features open terrain, making it possible to spot and visit the memorial from the roadside.

The memorial stands at the Moulin-Brûlé location and marks a road where millions of people and tons of material moved through during the war. This supply chain was so vital that the entire history of this region would have unfolded entirely differently without it.
