VERTES-FEUILLES FARM, SEEN FROM THE N. 2 DURING THE JULY COMBATS.

Continue towards St. Pierre-Aigle, which is marvellously situated. The photographs on the preceding page show in what state the bombardments left it. Turn to the left, to visit the church at the edge of the ravine (pretty view over the forest of Retz). Return to the road and descend into the valley.

At the bottom of the hill, if not pressed for time, visit Vertes-Feuilles Farm, situated about two miles further on. In this case, take on the left the road leading up the valley. The road first passes through ravaged woods, finally reaching the plateau crossed by N. 2. The farm, now a mere heap of ruins, stood at this crossing. Behind the farm are barbed wire entanglements and trenches.
