The Fort de Vaux can be visited. In addition to the building, it is worth taking a tour of the grounds to get an idea of the size and destruction of the former fortress. As strategically important points the Fort Douaumont and Fort de Vaux were strongly fought in the battle around Verdun (1916). In addition to the artillery fire, which withstood the two fortresses relatively well, there were also heavy fighting in which countless soldiers lost their lives meaningless.

The car park is ideal for walks (for example to the Vaux pond). If you keep your eyes peeled, you can discover many other testimonies and memorials from the Battle of Verdun on the forest trails. The paths and trails should not be left, as there is a serious danger of encountering duds or live ammunition (even grenades)! We discovered e.g. even at the edge of the main gravel path, the remains of a stalk grenade.

At the Fort de Vaux and at Fort Douaumont were held in the Battle of Verdun (1916) strong combat with artillery fire. You can still see that on the terrain today ...

The fort can be visited.
