The view opposite gives but a slight idea of the state in which it was found by its owners.
ROOM IN THE CASTLE WHERE THE GERMANS SLEPT
The park was placed in a state of defence and the Germans made a tenacious resistance there.
The tourist will now take the road in front of the cemetery which skirts the castle railings. Then turning to the left he will follow the zig-zag road which climbs the Étavigny Plateau.
ACY SEEN FROM THE HEIGHTS OF ÉTAVIGNY
The above panorama was taken from the last turn of the climbing path and gives a good view of the valley in which Acy is built.
Here we can follow the course of the battle: the French held the Nogeon Plateau, the Germans the valley and the heights where the tourist stands. Troops belonging to the Seventh Corps descended on Acy from Nogeon and came up in front of the village, others slipped along the Gergogne and made a flank attack.
