Ornes ( French pronunciation: [ɔʁn]) is a commune in the Meuse department in Grand Est in north-eastern France. The village is one of the nine French villages destroyed in the First World War and one of the three villages that was rebuilt. It is now a memorial place.
Even though a few houses and a handful of permanent residents remain, the village is classified as having "died for France".
