Monument in the form of a lantern of the dead inaugurated in 1928 in honor of Maurice Barrès (1862-1923), writer and figurehead of French nationalism, originally from Charmes, who in 1913 published the novel "La Colline inspired". Beautiful view of the surroundings, in particular the Vosges, but also to the Alps on certain days.
