By the 40th day after mobilisation the German High Command expected to have brought the French and British armies to a decisive battle and destroyed them. This conclusion to Schlieffen’s famous Plan relied on the Russians taking at least this length of time to mobilise via their poor railway system. The BEF played a small but significant part in the battle of the Marne even though Field Marshall French had seriously contemplated removing his men from the action to reform and rest. However, this major battle was largely won through the determination and courage of the French soldiers and their leaders. The French snatched a conclusive victory from what looked like an imminent defeat. The German High Command failed in its attempt to capture Paris and force the French government to capitulate. The ‘race to the sea’ now followed, in which the Allies and Central Powers atempted to outflank each other. The line of trenches was then settled from the North Sea to Switzerland. The Allies and the Central Powers now knew that the war would continue far longer than they had thought. The next few years would be spent in learning how to fight a new kind of war with new weapons in the air and on the ground. The price of this process would be paid in blood.

The St Martin’s Church in Pompierre was rebuilt in the 19th century, but the Romanesque portal dating from the first building in the 12th century has been preserved. It is the finest example of Romanesque sculpture in Lorraine. In a good state of preservation, it bears witness to the influence of Burgundian sculpture in the region at that time. The tympanum has the Adoration of the Magi in the centre and the Massacre of the Innocents in the upper part. The lintel depicts the entry of Jesus into Jerusalem.

In the heart of the town of furniture and seating craftsmen, you will find the Saint-Vincent hall-fountain, built in 1551.

Near the church of Liffol-le-Grand, this war memorial was inaugurated on the 17th of April 1921. Commemorating the two major global conflicts of the 20th century, its erection was decided by the town in October 1919; in the press release published on the 25th of October, we can read in French that “this memorial will be very sober, but of a refined and delicate taste, and will be 4m70 (15 feet) high. The base will be made entirely of Brittany granite. The inscriptions will be engraved in granite and with gold leafs. The statue that topped the base will be in white marble of Carrara.” Built by the Les marbreries générales de Paris (Gourdon Dir.), given by “Liffol-le-Grand to its heroic children who died for France”, this monument made of Vosges granite and marble is topped by a statue symbolising France crowning its heroes. We can see engraved on this war memorial 77 names of men who perished during World War I and 13 men during World War II.

Gallo-Roman villas, a sanctuary where water and sun cults were celebrated, and many other treasures from the Gallo-Roman era were hidden beneath the Liffolois subsoil...

The area between the rampart and the amphitheatre was occupied in Antiquity by a vast public building, which could have been a thermal complex if we consider the remains discovered in the 19th century under the neighbouring orchards. Excavations carried out between 2010 and 2016 uncovered a gallery leading to these buildings. This gallery, 6 m wide and over 40 m long, was distinguished by the richness of its decoration, given the large number of marble fragments and painted plaster found. The square in front of the portico was crossed by an underground pipe that probably connected the spring beneath the church with the thermal baths it fed. A selection of the objects unearthed during these excavations is on display in the Mosaic Museum.
