Memorial to the Battle of Fontaine-Française, 800 metres east of the village: inscription by order of 14 October 1946

Origin and history

The Memorial of the Battle of Fontaine-Française is a 19th-century building located in the municipality of the same name, Burgundy-Franche-Comté. He pays tribute to a local military event, although the specific details of this battle are not explicitly described in available sources. The monument is located 800 metres east of the village along National Highway 460, and its location has been found satisfactory (precision note: 7/10) by the heritage databases.

Ranked a Historical Monument by order of 14 October 1946, this monument is a communal property. The sources mention its inclusion in the additional inventory, without specifying further protections or restorations. The base Mérimé le reference under the code Insee 21277, attached to the department of the Côte-d No information is provided on its current accessibility (visits, rentals, etc.), or on any historical figures related to its construction or the battle it commemorates.

Available data comes mainly from the Monumentum platform and internal archives, including a Creative Commons license for associated visuals. The approximate GPS location is supplemented by a postal address (R.N. 460), but no architectural or iconographic details are described in the sources consulted. The monument thus illustrates a local memorial heritage, typical of the military commemorations of the 19th century in France, without its specific history being further documented here.
