In 1994, to replace the war memorial, a public commission was given to Jochen Gerz, a German artist. He erected an obelisk of Dordogne yellow stone, which assembles, on enamelled plates, the answers of the commune’s adult inhabitants to a secret question asked by the artist.
New inhabitants and children becoming adults progressively will answer this question, which remains secret. This original monument, forever unfinished, encourages thought about the value of life, and ideals such as liberty, love for one’s country, Europe.
