Memorial Queen Elisabeth

At the foot of the Saint-Donat church, a bust of Queen Elisabeth stands in the courtyard named after her.
She wears the nurse's uniform, a reference to the First World War where, from the first days, she took an active role in the care of wounded soldiers.
The Belgian soldiers called her the "queen nurse".
