Les Éparges (French pronunciation: [le.z‿epaʁʒ]) is a commune in the Meuse department in Grand Est in north-eastern France.
A ridge to the east of the village was the site of the fierce World War I engagement, Battle of Les Éparges, in 1915,[3][4] and there are many memorials and monuments in the area.
