Le Jardin Littéraire in Saint-Rémy-la-Calonne, Meuse (55)

It's a good idea to have a literary garden, and this one in Saint-Rémy-la Calonne seems very successful. Included here are many writers associated with war, and the one that strikes me in particular is Jean Giono, well known for his hatred of war after experiencing it first hand in World War I. The horror he saw during the war made him stongly react against war, leading for some to absurdly consider him a collaborator! The writers included here are Alain-Fournier, Allain, Guillaume Apollinaire, Ruppert Brooke [sic], Paul Cazin, Roger Martin du Gard, Maurice Genevoix, Jean Giono, Ernst Jünger, Edelf Köppen, Frantz Marc, John Mc Crae [sic], Edmont Vittet, Louis Pergaud, Charles Péguy,  Wilfrid Owen and Edmont Vittet.



An example of one of the posts: Alain-Fournier, almost inevitably. These are triangular posts, in French, English and German.
