Verdun

The two world wars had a profound impact on our region. Verdun is a highly symbolic city, as it is the site of one of the First World War’s fiercest battles between French and German troops. Here you can see war memorials such as the Ossuaire de Douaumont, preserved trenches, the American cemetery of Romagne-sous-Montfaucon, the forts of Vaux and Douaumont, museums: the underground citadel of Verdun, and the Verdun memorial. Every year, from mid-June to the end of July you can see a grand sound and light show: \"Des flammes...à la lumière\" in the quarry of Haudainville, close to Verdun.
