Verdun is a very beautiful city that has been very important since the Middle Ages. It's lovely to walk through the place and admire it.

Caution, there's a tree across the path. It's possible to bypass it.

The imposing bulwark on the Meuse River in Verdun is not only a memorial but also a representative example of contemporary history. Visit the underground citadel. You will be led into the vault and board a carriage. You will be equipped with headphones in your own language and 3D glasses. The story of three soldiers will be reenacted on September 13, 1916, on a rainy morning, returning from the Fleury front to Verdun. They were ordered to participate in the ceremony in the citadel. The "election of the unknown soldier" made this place a symbol of this terrible history. No photos are permitted during the tour. Opening hours vary depending on the season. Be sure to dress warmly, as it is always cold in the mountains (7 degrees Celsius).

Beautiful view over Verdun and the Meuse valley. On the nearby main road it is wonderful to drive downhill, but uphill is only recommended to a limited extent due to the busy traffic.

The museum displays more than 2,000 objects and uses authentic objects, photographs and audiovisual installations to show how French and German soldiers experienced this battle – in the exact same place where they fought.

Monument in memory of André Maginot, a French politician who volunteered for the army in 1914. He was wounded near Verdun, but remained bravely at his post. After the war, as a minister, he committed himself to strengthening the French defense, which eventually led to the construction of the famous Maginot Line.
