Description by the author

Proche du front et rempart naturel pour la capitale, la forêt de Retz occupe une position stratégique durant la Première Guerre mondiale. Situé à un point élevé du massif forestier, le lieu-dit «La Tour Réaumont» est choisi par l’armée française pour y implanter une tour d’observation en bois d’environ 30 mètres de haut. En juillet 1918, c’est du haut de cet observatoire que le général Mangin dirige la contre-offensive victorieuse contre les Allemands. Aujourd’hui une stèle marque l’emplacement de cette tour disparue lors d’une tempête en 1924. En 2017, sera érigée une nouvelle construction massive, qui commémorera les 100 ans de cette bataille. Ce circuit permet de suivre différents lieux marquants de cette bataille décisive, jusqu’à l’observatoire du général Mangin, point d’orgue de la balade.
