History
The national cemetery of prisoners is the only cemetery of French prisoners and prisoners from France's overseas territories from the 1914-1918 war. It preserves the commemorative statue of the Enchained Giant, a work by sculptor Freddy Stoll. It is of interest because of its international memorial dimension and to honour the memory of combatants from the former French colonial empire.
