Located in the picturesque village of Nouvron-Vingré, in France, the Monument de la Croix-Brisée stands as a testament to the trials experienced by World War I combatants on the plateau of Confrécourt. The monument was erected in 1929 by the Marquis de Croix, who was the property owner at the time. The broken cross, or 'Croix-Brisée', symbolizes the calvary felt by the soldiers who fought during this bloody conflict. The monument is situated on the commune of Nouvron-Vingré and is part of the department of Aisne. It was inscribed as a historic monument in 1990 and is a part of the list of historical monuments of the Aisne.
