On July 18, 1918, the Allied armies launched the counter-offensive that would lead to the Armistice of November 11. It was from the top of his observatory, built in the tall beech trees of the place called the Tour Réaumont, that General Mangin directed this counter-offensive. The observation tower disappeared, swept away by a storm in October 1924. For the centenary of the First World War, the observation tower was rebuilt. Culminating at an altitude of 220 meters, it offers one of the most beautiful panoramas of the region. An unobstructed view on the plateaus of the Soissons region and the forest massif awaits you. On eight floors, discover the life of the Retz forest and its major role during the offensive of July 18, 1918. nicolas Dehu-Bellière-Manière architects
