The monument to the “Entente Cordiale”
There is a monument to the Entente Cordiale on Vernet-les-Bains’ largest upland, next to the town hall, which is made up of a series of agreements on colonial issues between the British Empire and France signed on April 8th, 1904, which brought a line under a century of colonial rivalry between the powers (“the fight for Africa”), and, along with French and Russian Union, led to the Entente creation. This is the only monument of its kind in France.
