History
During World War I, the town was destroyed and the land was made uninhabitable to such an extent that a decision was made not to rebuild it. The site of the commune is maintained as a lasting testimony to war and is officially designated as a "village that died for France". It is managed by a municipal council of three members appointed by the prefect of the Meuse department.

gollark: I mean, as far as I know the "chiplet" term is what AMD call their individual die things which form a package.
gollark: That... isn't the standard definition.
gollark: Wait, are you using "chiplet" to mean "individual die" or "package with a bunch of dies connected together"?
gollark: No, but it's not like "GPU and CPU on same die" is a new idea.
