The military cemetery was intended to welcome the dead garrisons Esseillon. You can watch the particular two altars where the bodies of the dead were deposited when the frozen ground did not permit burial.

Description

Ideally located for hikers, the Sardinian cemetery is on the popular "Bâtisseurs" trail (to visit all the Esseillon forts), as well as the "Marabout" trail. No exhibitors or museum, just information panels to illustrate the site. Open to all.
