Trottoir National Cemetery, Military necropolis in Les Éparges, France.

The Trottoir National Cemetery contains 2,108 individual graves and an ossuary holding the remains of 852 French soldiers from World War I.

The cemetery, established in 1915 during the Hauts-de-Meuse battles, underwent several redesigns between 1922 and 1934 to accommodate additional fallen soldiers.

The grave of Second Lieutenant Robert Porchon, featured in Maurice Genevoix's literary work 'Ceux de 14', stands in the first row of the cemetery.

Located 25 kilometers southeast of Verdun, the cemetery remains open throughout the year with access via the D903 and D154 roads.

The cemetery received UNESCO World Heritage status in 2023 as part of the First World War memorial and funeral sites on the Western Front.
