* Additional: During the tour, it is possible to visit a very special place known as Creute de Froidmont where young American soldiers were
stationed and left their print in the stone of that former stone quarry. This requires perfect physical conditions as the access to the cave is done by ladder. In case you would choose that option it would replace the Aisne et Oise Cemetery.
