As a memorial to the many dead, such a "MONUMENT AUX MORTS" (usually called a "Central Memorial" or "War Memorial" in German-speaking countries) is still very important today. "Now, Lord, you let your servant depart in peace, as you have said..." it says in the so-called "Hymn of Simeon" (Luke's Gospel, Chapter 2, Verse 29). However, the people who are remembered here did not depart in peace, but became victims of war and tyranny. Therefore, the term "fallen memorial" is now sometimes used instead of the "war memorial" that was previously common in German. In the French-speaking world, however, this aspect of commemoration of the dead has long been included in the most commonly used term "MONUMENT AUX MORTS". Regardless of language and nation, such a memorial has two important and at the same time everlasting tasks: -1- To keep alive the memory of the suffering and horror of war, -2- and to remind people of the need to maintain peace in the long term.

The starch factory, now abandoned, was built in the 19th century (the gatehouse is dated 1842). Potato cultivation developed throughout the region and supplanted rapeseed cultivation. While increasingly prosperous, the industry's facilities remained largely unchanged, leading to its decline and closure in the 1970s. The starch factory employed up to 160 workers.

The bleachers are laid out facing the Saône. All you have to do is settle down there to rest for a few moments and enjoy the view of Seurre on the small marina. If you're hot, cool off at the refreshment bar set up on the quays. You can also fill your water bottles at the fountain located just across the road.
