    The Historial de la Grande Guerre is a museum dedicated to the First World War, located near the battlefields of the Somme in France. The museum's exhibits present the perspectives of the different countries involved in the war, as well as the lives of soldiers and civilians. It is also possible to enjoy the picturesque setting of the museum, which is housed in a castle overlooking a pond. You can stroll through the castle grounds, admire the architecture and gardens, and observe the flora and fauna. The museum is open daily from 9:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. (or 5:00 p.m. in winter).

      This museum is located on the front lines of the Battle of the Somme. The white concrete design by architect Henri-Edouard Ciriani describes a gentle arc set into the southwest wall of the medieval castle. It forms a harmonious whole with the four large round towers, each with a diameter of 9 m. The building at the Etang du Cam stands on a series of smooth white concrete columns, creating a beautiful reflection in the water. The rooms are accessed through an opening in the wall of the 13th-century castle, which was built by the Counts of Vermandois. Charles the Bold imprisoned Louis XI in one of the towers.
