Its connection with the Nice soldiers of the First World War
“It embodies fraternity with Flirey”
This chapel is the embodiment of the connection that Nice has with the village of Flirey. 1,500 soldiers from the 153rd Infantry Regiment of Nice fell between 1915 and 1916 in this commune of Meurthe-et-Moselle. Christian Estrosi and the mayor of Flirey have even placed a commemorative plaque inside to seal the strong bond that unites this place.
