MONTFAUCON. FRANCO-AMERICAN OBSERVATION-POST IN THE RUINS, NEAR THE CHURCH

The site of Montfaucon is an unusual and striking one; unfortunately, the town was almost entirely ruined.

At the junction of the road from Malancourt, turn to the left, passing shortly afterwards in front of a concrete observation-post (photo, p. 79). Keep along the principal street as far as the fork, where take the uphill street on the right, turning immediately again to the right, and coming out at the top of the ridge near the ruins of the church. Several observation-posts may be visited, including one inside the church (photo below).
