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

Trottoir National Cemetery is located in Les Éparges and contains burial sites of soldiers from World War I. The grounds combine individual graves with a vault holding the remains of hundreds of fallen soldiers in an area that is carefully maintained today.

Created in 1915 as a front-line cemetery after the fighting on the Crête des Éparges, it was reorganized after the war as a national necropolis. It gathered bodies exhumed from nearby military cemeteries, including Bois and Marquanterre. The cemetery was entirely rebuilt in 1958 and its entrance remade in 2013.

The name Trottoir refers to the road along which the cemetery was laid out, not to the shape of the ground. Robert Porchon, killed by a shell at Les Éparges in February 1915 and a war brother of writer Maurice Genevoix, is buried here; Genevoix came regularly to lay flowers on his grave and attended the annual Easter Monday ceremony for those who fell at Les Éparges.

The cemetery lies in the ravin d'Hadimel, at the foot of the Éparges ridge, 800 m from the village and about 20 km south-east of Verdun, at the edge of a state forest. The entrance was rebuilt in 2013. The central monument, rebuilt in Euville stone between 2005 and 2007, lists the main combat sites: ravin de Fragaoule, bois de la pointe de Monville, ravin de Sonvaux, calvaire des Éparges, tranchée de Calonne and Bois Haut.

The cemetery holds the grave of Robert Porchon, an officer killed by a shell at Les Éparges in February 1915 and the "war brother" of writer Maurice Genevoix, who dedicated Ceux de 14 to him. On 6 November 2018, President Emmanuel Macron laid a bouquet on Porchon's grave beside Genevoix's grandson.
