A warning road sign is posted near the entrance of the Camp de Suippes, near Reims, France, November 3, 2015. During World War One many French villages were destroyed, some never to be reconstructed because they were heavily damaged or because the nearby fields contain unexploded munitions, mines, explosives and artillery shells. The Camp de Suippes, opened in 1922, is a French Army training area for live artillery firing exercises, and closed to the public. The camp includes five damaged villages, with their churches and cemeteries that are overgrown with vegetation. The sign reads "Permanent live firing area, Danger of Death, Prohibited zone".
