The name itself "Eben-Ezer" was given to this hill by Robert GARCET.
This name is meaningful. Indeed, according to the Bible, it’s the place where Samuel erected, in 1038 BC, a stone to symbolize the finally recovered peace.
The Tower of Eben-Ezer, built at the end of World War II, has been erected against war and all forms of violence. Therefore, each year at the spring solstice a banner floats on which can be read: "... and no more will we learn to war ..."
A broken rocket is placed opposite the tower as a symbol of Garcet's pacifism. A broken gun has also been placed on the tower. In addition to the front door, Garcet has carved his adage "Aimer Penser Creér" in stone.
