The Tête des Faux

" Discover this mountain battlefield of the First World War! The French and German remains will plunge you into history, and the summit is a remarkable observatory. "

The Tête des Faux is a genuine 1914-1918 battlefield that is a listed historic monument. Its name comes from the beech forest that once covered it.

In August 1914, German observers set up camp there and directed artillery fire, destroying the French army command camp at the end of November. You can see real scars of war, such as the numerous barbed wires at the summit.

An advanced hike allows you to discover this battlefiled and his remains following in the footsteps of the brave Poilus.

The Tête des Faux is home to two First World War memorial and burial sites on the Western Front that are listed as UNESCO World Heritage sites: the Kahm German military cimetry and the national necropolis Carrefour Duchesne
