THE GHOSTS OF LANDOWSKI

On the spot where the fate of the Allied troops was decided on July 25 and 26, 1918, on the Chalmont hill, a gigantic group of pink granite statues stands today at an altitude of 155 meters: The Ghosts. Sculpted by Paul Landowski and inaugurated in 1935, the monument commemorates the Allied victory in the second battle of the Marne. Eight 8 m high colossi: seven soldiers, each symbolizing a corps of arms, and the eighth, naked, who is none other than death. A grandiose site.
