RUINS OF THE CHURCH AT BEINE
A road leading to Sillery leaves Beine in a south-westerly direction, but owing to its bad condition it is impossible to use it for returning to Rheims. The trenches and shell holes have barely been filled in, and the temporary bridges over the wider trenches would probably break down under a fairly heavy car. On the other hand, the huge craters made by the Germans in the course of their retreat, have only been summarily repaired and are not practicable for motor-cars. Tourists should therefore return to Nogent l'Abbesse by the road they came by.
BERRU CHURCH
Enter the village by the main street, which follow as far as the church, whose belfry has been destroyed.
After the church, take the first street on the right, then the second road on the left (G.C. 64), which leads to Berru. In front of the village, turn to the left and cross straight through. The 12th century Church of St. Martin, which suffered only slightly from the bombardments, is in the middle of the village, on the left (photo above).
On leaving Berru, the tourist comes again to the crossing mentioned on p. [163]. Turn to the right and return to Witry-les-Reims by the road previously followed.
At Witry-les-Reims, take N. 51 on the left, passing by the ruined works of Linguet (photo below).
