Adjacent to a German cemetery, the Bertrimoutier cemetery holds 933 French soldiers, 12 Russians and a Romanian who died during the fighting in the Vosges at Le Violu, Ban-de-Laveline and Spitzemberg in 1914-1918. Created in 1921, this cemetery was developed in 1924 in order to bring together the bodies exhumed from the military cemeteries at Lesseux, Provenchères and Le Violu. The commune of Bertrimoutier was awarded the 1914-1918 Croix de Guerre (War Cross).
References:The Château du Lude is one of the many great châteaux of the Loire Valley in France. Le Lude is the most northerly château of the Loire Valley and one of the last important historic castles in France, still inhabited by the same family for the last 260 years. The château is testimony to four centuries of French architecture, as a stronghold transformed into an elegant house during the Renaissance and the 18th century. The monument is located in the valley of Le Loir. Its gardens have evolved throughout the centuries.
