Patton's Route Markers Fortin Bogges

These Patton's Route markers are part of the Trail of remembrance at Fortin Bogges. There are 5 markers at this location.

The Patton's Route starts at Pâchis de Fauvillers and runs through Hotte, Burnon, Chaumont, Assenois and Bastogne. The course was solemnly inaugurated on Sunday, December 11, 2022.
It is exactly the same route that the 4th Armored Division of General Patton's Third Army took during its counter-offensive from December 23 to 26, 1944, with the ultimate goal of liberating the besieged city of Bastogne.
This Patton's Route has 9 "WWII Information Points" where you will not only find panels with lots of interesting information about the offensive but also a piece of field artillery, a bunker and a General Patton memorial.
