Site of Eparges : In the middle of the forest of Calonne, an common grave, covered with a glass pyramid, shows the location where the bodies of the french writer Alain Fournier of his twenty comrades, killed in action September 22, 1914, were discovered only in 1991 after more than 70 years of an enigmatic disappearance. They are lying upside down in a mass grave excavated by the Germans. Today, they are buried in the cemetery of the village of Saint Remy la Calonne (photo 216). Top right, the monument by the sculptor Henri-Patrick Stein, dedicated to the author of "Le Grand Meaulnes".
