History



First World War


Lying on the front lines of the Western Front, the commune was occupied by Germany and liberated by the Allies. .[2]

The stone quarries of Moulin-sous-Touvent, exploited since the Middle Ages, were occupied in 1914 by the German forces, who took over the dormitories and expanded the underground network, creating hundreds of meters of new galleries.[3]
