Erected at the exit of the village on a bank, the monument to corporal Peugeot was erected in 1959 in place of a first monument dated 1922, destroyed by occupation troops in 1940. The monument, designed by architect Schuler, consists of a stele-wall in slabs of sandstone and bears an inscription recalling the tragic end of the first French casualty of the First World War, as well as a bust in low relief in bronze signed Traut.
