De toegang tot deze Franse militaire begraafplaats.
Op deze begraafplaats liggen meer dan 4.000 Franse soldaten begraven.
Een mooie foto waarop je de perfecte lijnen tussen de verschillende rijen graven kunt zien.
Het graf van een onbekende Franse soldaat.
Net als bij de Britten, streden er ook heel wat niet-Fransen in de oorlog. Vaak uit de toenmalige kolonies van Frankrijk.
Een fragment uit een infobord aan de ingang geeft je meer historische informatie.
Ook op deze begraafplaats zijn er een aantal recente bijzettingen.
Bijzettingen centraal achteraan op de begraafplaats.
De Franse overheid staat in voor het onderhoud van de Franse begraafplaatsen (foto 05/06/2001).
