The monument is located on the east bank of the Meuse, in front of Japiot Park, next to Porte Chaussée. Built in 1928, it stands on the site of the military butchery destroyed in 1916.

Nation Square and Porte de France, Verdun

Beautiful square with a lot of history: a memorial for the fallen soldiers is right next door, the old city gate with the pretty old town on the other bank of the Meuse

The Meuse in Verdun

Highlight • River

Flowing very tranquilly, provided with floating bistros... also an eye-catcher in the evening due to the lighting

Chaussée Gate

Highlight • Monument

The gate was part of the great city fortifications that surrounded Verdun in the Middle Ages. The gate was donated by Monsieur Wautrec, since Verdun, as a free imperial city, had to take care of its own defense.

Verdun Memorials and Monuments

Highlight • Historical Site

Verdun, in Lorraine, in the middle of the Maasvlakte, is marked by a heavy historical past, closely linked to the First World War. Battlefield of a terrible battle in 1916, which cost more than 300,000 lives in 10 months, the city commemorates this painful past with a permanent tribute to the soldiers killed at the front.
