The Michelin enameled lava stone signs are an iconic part of French traffic signage. Produced by Michelin between 1910 and 1971, these signs are made of durable lava stone, enameled and mounted on a concrete base. They were used to provide traffic information and tourist directions and are known for their durability and resistance to weather conditions. Michelin began offering these signs to municipalities as a form of advertising, often featuring the name "Michelin" on the signs.

This almost century-old signage is a vestige of the old pre-war name of the roads, “Gc” corresponding to “chemin vicinal de Grande Communication”, ancestor of the departmental roads.
A shell placed at the foot of the marker bears witness to the traces of the Great War, omnipresent in the surrounding area.
