A very beautiful lake, well worth a visit. I first visited it in 1993 on a tour of Lorraine. Mirabelle plums are grown everywhere nearby, and they also produce very good mirabelle plum schnapps.

In the village of Pannes (in the Meurthe-et-Moselle department), the Monument aux Morts was inaugurated on 2 August 1923 in memory of the victims of the First World War. During the war, Pannes was occupied by the German army and was only liberated on 12 September 1918 by General Patton's troops. The original monument contained a statue that unfortunately has not survived the ravages of time. The current version is therefore no longer identical to the original. The inauguration was widely reported at the time in the newspaper L’Éclair de l’Est, with a speech by Mr Noël, in which he honoured the names and stories of the fallen.

On the hill of Montsec in France stands this impressive memorial, erected by the United States in honor of the American troops who broke through the German St. Mihiel salient in September 1918. The monument, a classical colonnade with a bronze relief map in the center, offers a panoramic view of the former battlefield. It symbolizes the cooperation between the French and American armies and commemorates the more than 550,000 American soldiers who took part in this first major, independently led American offensive operation of World War I.

Don't just drive through here. You'll definitely need a break and a closer look at this lovingly designed place. Elves, fairies, trolls, dragons, and witches will briefly immerse you in another world.

The simple yet poignant structure of the "MONUMENT AUX MORTS," perched high on the hill, can be seen from afar. At the same time, the location offers visitors a sweeping view of the landscape around Montsec, including the Lac de Madine. But this panorama is only a side effect. The memorial was not erected for edifying purposes; rather, it has the dual function of keeping the memory of the victims of war and tyranny alive, and thus also serves as a constant reminder to maintain peace. The architecture of the complex, with its wide staircase and the rectangular columns forming a circle at the top, may well evoke memories of buildings from classical antiquity, but it dates back to the 20th century.
